That's a fucking ripper of a song, holy shit. Neurosis-y with more than a hint of Amebix to my ear, but you have managed to put your own spin on it big time. I love the vocals, how you can hear the Irish accent coming through. It adds an extra bit of authenticity, but the music has originality too. There's a joyousness or sense of celebration to it at the end. I don't know if that was intentional or if it's just that I'm completely fucking warped in the brain, but the sing-along buzz just feels like positive vibes to me. Most impressive. I'll have to check out your earlier releases as despite knowing the name I can't remember the music having caught me before.
Such a killer sound. Really class to see this seeing the light of day, came together really well.
Roll on Friday and more of it
The lads are class, can't wait for the full album. Though I suspect I have heard an amount of this live already lol
I think it was all played at Siege alright, and that was phenomenal
Cheers fellas
Some Irish dates added
No warping of the brain Mclove, nail on the head.
The song is about the Mary Russell tragedy. I live a few minutes from the graves of the seven murdered crew. Their captain believed that they were planning a mutiny based on them speaking Irish.

5th listen. I'm hooked.
Interesting back story.

Great work. I'll pick it up on payday next. Well done.
Ochoill sent me the link to the track up the other day and it was class.
Gave this a quick spin the other night and it's class. Got it's own unique thing going on which is hard to pin down. Some of the guitar licks remind me of Smashing Pumpkins oddly enough even though the genres are far apart. Need to give it a few more spins but definitely an excellent Irish release :abbath:
The bit where the riff is like a hammer on solo is my favourite but I've still only heard the one tune

Great documentary. I can't wait to get my hands on the album. Will it be in Bunker Vinyl or MusicZone at all?
Just ordered the vinyl. I've been listening to it on Spotify, great stuff.
Any more gigs planned?
Not at bunker or Music zone yet, but soon!
Plugd should be stocked soon aswell. For now, best place to grab a copy is on our bandcamp:

There's an Irish show or two to be announced for November soon with an absolutely stacked lineup that I can't wait for. News on that soon.
The documentary is going to be part of the upcoming Dublin underground film Fest at the end of the month, which is pretty awesome all things considered.
That documentary is very good now. It would be cool to see more of this on irish bands. Does anyone remember the short documentary series on Irish acts that was done a good few years ago? I remember it was up on Metal Ireland

Must have a gawp at the Partholón doc. The Fractured series was deadly.

I just watched the documentary. Really fascinating stuff. I hope the CD isn't too long in winging its way down here as I've listened to it loads on YouTube but I am excited to hear it properly through the stereo. I imagine it'll be struck in the car for months to come.
Looking forward to see you in November, let us know dates please ASAP!

Now, that was very well done!
Love the insight & stories
Great talkers
CD landed today. Sounds smashing.
This is fantastic stuff, listened to it twice yesterday. Pillars superb.
Cheers gentlemen.
Vinyl is now available from Plugd, Musiczone, 33rpm and Bunker vinyl in Cork City.

November show is due to be announced soon. Keep an eye on Dead Cult socials.
Enjoyed that doc. I had no idea whatsoever that these lads were connected with Sludgehook, which is an absolute blast from the past. Christ I feel old now. Last time I saw Sludgehook was maybe late 90's, early 00's in the old college bar in UCC.
Saw Sludgehook in Castlebar in the early 00's. They were great.
There's a little production detail that brings a smile to my face in Skin of the Beast every time I listen to it. There's a section where the main riff is howling and on top there have been particular notes picked out and plucked which have been loaded with extra reverb. Sounds great. Will rob :laugh:
Finally got around to picking the album up (or whatever one does on Bandcamp) this morning.
Absolutely ripping stuff, it's been a long time coming but well worth the wait. I still spin "Follow Me Through Body" frequently - the track "Jerusalem" is a monster but this new record is next level. It sounds absolutely huge - even through headphones.
Pissed off that I missed the lads supporting Nadja in Cork a few weeks ago, I'd love to have heard these new tracks live.
Maith sibh, a bhuachaillí agus ádh mór oraibh go léir.
They have a headline show coming up soon, from what I hear.
Tapes are down to a handful, get em while you can:

Well lamped McLove. It's a mixture of a reverb pedal and slap delay. It's meant to oscillate from ear to ear before landing in the middle of the mix. I'm delighted someone copped it because it took so much time to tweak it right and not have the ass fall out of the rhythm playing. The majority of the album is just two guitars.
I use quill effects cruel bloom pedal live for that bit in particular. There's a cool burst option that could have saved me hours in the studio 😆
The Metal Cell Documentary is down to the last 3 for best documentary at the upcoming Dublin Underground Film awards in November. I'm hopeful Richie will do more features like this, reminiscent of the Fractured series (well worth a watch).
You can catch it on YouTube now:
November show details will be announced soon, but a cursory look at gigs in Cork at that time should give the heads up 😉
Yee nailed the production all round, in fairness. The bass tone is stunning. Bulldozing but with warmth and identity.
It's taken me this long to get to this, what I heard sounds mighty, just threw in an order there. The documentary's class too.
This is filling the Neurosis shaped hole in my life quite nicely. Fair play.
That mellotron type effect/sound at the start of "Gathered in Circles" is deadly. Don't explain it to me though,it'll ruin the magic.
Partholón added to the upcoming HYOM Cork show w/Codespeaker & Uncultivates

Check out his solo stuff, one man effort. Just a cascade of bass. Hard to pin down, but heavily influenced by Black Metal.

Shame ye are not on the Limerick date, that's the one I'll be at anyway (the other three bands are deadly too).
Best of luck with the award. The film was really engaging.
Incredibly, the documentary won.
Fair play to Richie, some achievement all things considered.
It's well deserved :abbath:
Fair play 8)
Sound fellas
The Cork show next Fri is updated.
Unexpected issues with the venue led to the show being cancelled initially. However, the show will go ahead at Blackpool rehearsal studios and is limited to 50 tickets.
Tickets go on sale 11am tomorrow (Weds) morning.
Based on previous ticket sales, this is likely to sell out very very fast. Keep an eye out on the Dead Cult socials.
Hoping to score a ticket for this. To start off in The Groves or An Fhear Dubh is the next consideration :laugh:
I know the win was posted a few pages back but nice to see this get some local coverage
