I'm pleased to announce that Tree Of Sores will be the next release, with a 6 track self-titled EP landing in January 2011. Hailing from Leeds, the trio take influences from doom to crust to post-metal. Heavy, dark and ambient with tortured male/female vocals, and mission to take you to a frightening place.

Listen to or download this exclusive track now from the EP, and stay tuned for pre-orders, and news of a release gig

I'm stoked to announce that Iron Witch are joining the clan, and will have a CD out early next year. As soon as I heard the 2-track demo on their Myspace I was won over by their whisky-soaked sludge, that tips its hat to the likes of Eyehategod, Sleep and Sabbath. Check them out!

Redefine The Natural Order by Year Of The Flood

Year Of The Flood present 4 more tracks of epic d-beat. Hot on the heels of the sold-out debut EP 'A Utopian View' is the follow up EP 'Redefine The Natural Order'. Drawing influences from crust hardcore, doom and down-tempo sludge metal they use their music to paint a bleak picture of a world on the brink of it's ultimate self-consumption.

Heavily inspired by the dystopian literature of author Margaret Atwood, with the overriding themes of violence, greed, consumerism and social selfishness that threaten to overwhelm modern society.

This EP is limited to 150 copies on CD, and you can buy it here or can be downloaded from Bandcamp right now for whatever price you want (even free). It's also available from the usual digital outlets such as iTunes, and will soon be on Spotify

In their own words "Yeah that's right. We've clicked off the distortion, laid down the drumsticks and put Dicky on ice for a little while. Pete's even picked up a ukulele. We were having too much fun with the big riffs on Movin On so we've put down these four melancholy acoustic songs. Fear not though, we'll be back to our chipper selves in no time. If you came here looking for the riffs they're here."

Nothing is the opening track from the upcoming acoustic EP The Bleak. The Bleak is being released by Witch Hunter Records on 6th September 2010. Please check their website for pre-order details and an artwork preview http://trippywicked.com

The next release, dropping in September, will be from the stoner sleaze rock trio Trippy Wicked & the Cosmic Children of the Knight. ‘The Bleak’ is a 15 minute song, split into 4 tracks, this stripped down affair showcases their more melancholic and introspective side, follows on from the stonking self-released debut album ‘Movin On’. Check out their website for more info and to have a listen.

Following on from that will be an acoustic EP from the mighty Stubb. Featuring Jack Dickinson of Loud Howls and Mindzap Productions, and Pete & Chris from Trippy Wicked, these guys worship at the altar of 66 to 73.

Below The Fall CDs are now in stock, check out how great they look. Debut gigs, and a radio session are in the pipeline, so watch out.
