Full blurb on Instagram and presumably FB. Album out March 17th.
Songs great and filthy.
Nice to see this finally coming out. The artwork is unreal.
That's brilliant.
As said already the artwork is fantastic.
Class art, great track, buzzing for this. Show with Unyielding Love last year was ace.
Too be brutally honest the track is kinda meh.
I can hear elements of Joe's style and elements of Alan's style in the riffs. Matt's mongo drumming keeps it all nice and primitive. Nods to Beherit, Ride for Revenge, Moenen of Xezbeth, Perverted Ceremony and Forbidden Temple in the mix too along with others I'll surely detect along the way. Also great to hear Alan go full BM on the vocals. Works for me anyway.
That's pretty tasty to these ears.
Yep its great stuff
Interesting considering the parties involved. Could do with some lead guitar, even in a primitive fashion. I'm suspicious of any metal without lead guitar.
Pretty sure there is lead in all of the other tunes. :laugh: Album starts with a lead actually. Primitive is certainly the name of the game.
Another tune now streaming on NCS:

Great stuff. Looking forward to the LP.
First track announcement slipped under my radar, but just saw second one shared on FB and checked out both. Savage stuff, really grabbing my attention here. Definitely a pleasant surprise to hear Nemty involved in creating something like this. Also, didn't even know you played drums Matt! Have you been drummer in other projects?
Glad you're enjoying it. No. This is my first outing as a drummer. Played as a kid but stopped in about 1st year.
Will most certainly grab this, really digging both tracks.
Another dose of savagery.
The name and logo are pretty shit but the music sounds deadly. Will order on pay day.
I've looked at that label site but can't find the preorder link.
Is there a shirt as well?
I don't know what the craic is with the preorder and no shirts yet, that I'm aware of.
Ok thanks.

Full album streaming. Officially out Friday.
Will you be selling copies here or is it only from the label?
That's a right ripper; flies through with no dips in quality :abbath:
Chance of copies at Carcass/in Dub on Saturday?
We'll have a few copies to sell. Bandcamp will be up on Friday and Sentinel will have copies.
I'll sort a copy for ya on Saturday, Squigz. Will get back to ya before then.
Nice one Matt

No idea. It's some old painting that Alan found.
Listened to this last night, amazing piece of work.
Great album, must grab the LP.
First full listen of this tonight. Superb. Bit of the Cultes des Ghoules style primitive witchery going on. One of my favourite Irish releases... ever, I'd say.
Anywhere on this Island selling this outside of Dublin at all?
When is the vinyl out? I thought they were both being released together.
Vinyl is out, Darragh had some online and Scobes had some in the shop but both sold out I think.
Flip. I'll have a snoop about on pay day.
I'm waiting for a copy to be added to Sentinel webstore so I can nab it and the new Lankum, I'll throw a post here if Bree doesn't.
We'll drop more into Scobes in the next few days.
Both Darragh and Scobes have cds if anyone is that way inclined.
:abbath:
Darragh was saying he'll hopefully get a few more in as well.
He has a trade sorted so will have records next week.

Mighty!
May as well nab a few other bits from him as well, sure.
Just listened to a couple of the songs - yep, tis deadly.
Any idea when the LP might be back in Sentinel? Def gonna pop in and get it asap
In the next few days. I'll post here when they do.
Sentinel now has copies instore and online.
Nice one, order in
Back in stock with Invictus.
I just wanted to say I think this album fucking slays. Easily my favorite Irish metal release since the MALTHUSIAN Demo (which still fucking astounds me). Have to say though, and no offense to open face matt, I think the drumming is probably the only weak point, I know the kinda simple/sloppy style it kinda fits the vibe, and I could be well wrong, but I would definitely be curious and interested to hear what this would sound like with a drummer like Johnny King going mental on it. But yeah brilliant stuff, I really hope there's more and its not a one off project.
I love how loose it is.
My shirt arrived on Monday, killer design.

No offence taken. Johnny is an incredible drummer but it would completely defeat the intended style and sound of it.
Yep. The CD and LP arrived. Fucking cool release and the primitive attack of the drumming sounds great to me. Keeps it nice and primal.
Listening to this today for first time in a long time. Really cool stuff, though I think it suffers from a slightly too muddy/cavernous production. Sounds like I'm in the smoking area listening to the band inside at points :laugh: Alan's Vocals are brilliant and pretty distinct which is hard to do. Really great drumming Openface, amazing effort for your first foray back back into it, perfectly fitting. Is this a one and done project or have you fellas got anything else up your sleeve? Always good to have more of this filthy morbid metal coming from Ireland.
The initial intention was a far more scaldy production but that didn't happen :laugh:
One and done, but who knows in a couple of years!?
Haha fuck, kinda wanna hear the other version now :laugh:
It was a shed recording versus the studio recording that it ended up as.
