WHR006 Tree Of Sores - Tree Of Sores

Leeds 3 piece, Tree Of Sores, take influences from the doomy atmospherics of Neurosis, an underbelly of crust care of Amebix, and an air of recklessness favoured by the likes of Eyehategod. The band create a vibe that is heavy, dark and ambient, with tortured male/female vocals, and a mission to take you to a frightening place.

Recorded with Matt (Pumpkin Records) at Brunswick Mill, Manchester in October 2010, and artwork and layout by Black Uroborus, this CD comes in a 4-panel digipack, and is limited to 150 copies. You can buy the CD here, or can be listened to and downloaded from Bandcamp right now for whatever price you want, even free.

WHR005 Year Of The Flood - Redefine The Natural Order

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

WHR004 Trippy Wicked - The Bleak

Trippy Wicked & the Cosmic Children of the Knight present 4 tracks of acoustic melancholy. "The Bleak” is more of an alternate reality rather than a U-turn on style for the UK’s riff worshipping Trippy Wicked & the Cosmic Children of the Knight. Following their debut album, “Movin’ On”, comes four acoustic songs covering themes of emptiness, unrest and loneliness.

The EP was recorded in a home studio by the band over the early summer of 2010, and is a re-working of a single 20 minute atmospheric sludge piece of music that has yet to see the light of day.

Over the top Sabbath worshipping has been replaced with soft vocal passages, subtle chords and the occasional melancholic horn blast. Frontman Pete Holland has put down his usual sweat coated guitar for a ukulele and drummer Chris West is on guitar duties this time round.

This EP is limited to 100 copies, and comes in a recycled sleeve complete with lyric insert, with artwork by Chris West. Buy it here or can be downloaded from Bandcamp right now for whatever price you want (even free). It will also be available from the usual digital outlets such as iTunes and will soon be on Spotify

WHR003 Below The Fall - Below The Fall EP

Below The Fall touch down with their debut 2-track EP. These new kids on the block haven't even gigged yet, but have recorded 2 awesome tracks of Deftones/Far/Hundred Reasons worship with Jordan Fish at Studio 91. The EP is limited to 150 copies and comes in a brown recycled sleeve with artwork by James Giles, buy it here or can be downloaded from Bandcamp right now for whatever price you want (even free).

WHR002 Year Of The Flood - A Utopian View

Year Of The Flood, are here, with their debut 2 track ep 'A Utopian View' on Witch Hunter Records, so head on over to Bandcamp to have a listen and download (pay what you want, or take it for free), or buy from here







In the words of the band "This is epic D-Beat/Hardcore based loosely on the books of Margaret Atwood and Aldous Huxley. We're spreading the word that the human race is bringing our downfall with its arrogance.... the waterless flood is coming."



Featuring ex-members of Jesus of Spazzareth/Bumsnogger/Blood Divided/Dead on a Rival, this sounds like Cursed and Tragedy brawling, with Converge looking on. This 2-track EP is limited to 50 copies, has a fold out drawing by Leon Evans, a scribed CD and a printed lyric insert.

WHR001 Bumsnogger - 'Bumsnogger 2002 - 2006',

First up, a free download-only release to get the ball rolling, from Nottingham's  dearly departed sludge lords Bumsnogger.   'Bumsnogger 2002 -2006' is everything off both EPs and the spit 7", and we've trawled through the archives and found some very rough rehearsal recordings of 3 unheard songs as a treat to those who download the complete thing. It's all over at Bandcamp, listen to it, you choose what format you want it in and download it for free, simple as that. No messing with torrents, p2p or rapidshare.
