Music is sublime. Artwork an absolutely perfect match (great the way the border is cell-wall-like). But what's the above? Trying to instigate a doom-rap-battle? Should present yourselves as if into a void, not with critical reference to a scene you deem (largely correctly) to be irrelevant.
that sounds good but the production is way too murky for my liking.
who is doing the harsh vocals? they sound great.
Sounds deadly love the wonky murkiness of it. Looking forward to hearing more :abbath:

The doom scene is very saturated with these sort of bands so something like this in a press release at least sets it apart as different. impossible to find good new doom that isnt just stoner blues.

It comes across as petty to me. In short, it's a self-description that would not endear me, personally, to check out a new band, and as an approach it's banal compared to the uniqueness of the music and aesthetic. Anyway, Andy won't mind me saying this; he's forever giving young bands image advice :abbath: :abbath: :abbath:
It's definitely a very Andy press release I think we can all agree, haha! Seems to be a strict no gig/no interview policy too which is interesting. Total primitivism.
Deadly stuff altogether. Love the clangy, "coming from the other side of a church" drum production. Really digging the artwork too.
Nice & lovley stuff. Will be picking it up. Also a fan of the press release.
There will be a vinyl edition released through Fuck Yoga and Heavenly Vault early next year. No wimp will be spared.
For a second time the hammer of doom is hoisted aloft. The enemy has been named...

Session lyrics :laugh:
A little nod to J. Read 8)
This is great.
This is savage but I need to listen to it on something that's not my phone to get the full whack. Excited to hear more.
Aye its deadly. Proper demented.
loving it. complete dedication to atmosphere
Nice one. Just to clear up any possible confusion, originally Fuck Yoga were to release a noble CD edition in September but have decided to do elitist vinyl instead which won't be ready until early 2020. Unless another CD or tape offer comes in in the mean time no poser crushing physical edition will be loosed upon the weak until the new year. Praise be, wimps.

That's crushingly class. Just put it on a speaker there having previously listened on the phone.
Welll done lads.

Yeah whatever. Our no wimp policy has been made pretty clear.
Do you have many other Manowar-eqsue policies?
No, just that one sensible one.

Indeed. And now back to the doom.
Sounds great, proper doom.
Looks like this is finally set to be released at the end of this month. We have a handful of copies that will be available from the bandcamp. Should be more than enough for the local funeral doom contingent.
Also, despite being listed as a two song EP on Metal Archives, it's actually a four song album.

Brilliant, was wondering when it was coming.
On wax is it?
Yep, vinyl only at the minute. If offers for CD and tape come in then they'll be looked at.
Originally this was delayed due to Ivan from Fuck Yoga being snowed under with his label and other commitments. Now our old pal Corona has added another spanner into proceedings. Macedonia has been on lockdown for the past few weeks meaning the label has ground to a halt so we'll have to wait and see what happens. The course of true doom never does run smooth.
Coincidentally, after I posted the above I received an email from Droll Meadow, who did the artwork. Mr. Meadow is starting up a tape label called Odd Memory and has asked to release a tape edition of 'Sunt Lacrymae Rerum' with new artwork. I can't say exactly when it will happen in the current circumstances but it will follow the LP.
Tape release would be savage...
Be looking forward to that tape, aye they don't even have the post goin in Macedonia, had things ordered of him..
Given these two tracks a listen again CD would be savage :)
Nice one. There are two more songs on the album as well that throw in a few more surprises. I'd like to get it out on CD so we'll see if an offer comes in.
September release is the new plan. The course of doom is doomed.
I took a listen to this today and it was much more varied than I would have thought from the description. It was crying out for gang vocals though. There was actually a bit towards the end of the second track which was almost approaching gang vox and all. Joking aside, I thought it was interesting stuff.
Cheers. There are two more songs on the album that we haven't uploaded yet. The last song has some gang screams which is sort of similar ;)
Got this a month or two back and it looks and sounds the absolute business. The packaging is as weird as the music. ha.
You must have got your hands on one of the coveted bootleg editions...

Any left? :P
I've got a bootleg tshirt as well.
It's like O'Connell Bridge in the 90s over here.
Looks like there'll be a small run of CDs via Electric Requiems. More info soon.

Tumult in the Undertow, the final song from the album, is up on the Fuck Yoga bandcamp page. Not sure when it's actually going to be out. Maybe this month, maybe never...
Real Funeral Doom.
Fucking savage.
This is dank, foul, rodent-infested mankiness
Well done!
Well, that was unpleasant.
It's a spicy meatball.

Ray made a video for the song 'Sunt Lacrymae Rerum' which turned out rather cool.
Still no idea when the fucking thing will actually be released but sure...

This confused me to be honest. I bought the digital album off Bandcamp but it just has two songs on it - so two more are missing from it?
When I checked Discogs, it also has the album listed as only containing two songs.
Really enjoying what I've heard but think I just have half an album.
It has four songs, yep. Did you buy it from the link I put in this thread? I'm not really sure how bandcamp works as I didn't set the page up but the idea was that we'd just stream those couple of songs until the LP was out and then start selling the entire thing but I think that the bandcamp setup pushes the listener to pay. Obviously the physical release has been delayed again and again. It was supposed to be out last month according to the FY bandcamp page (where the fourth song is streaming- song three hasn't yet been made public) but that didn't happen so I've no idea when it will be out at this stage. Pm me your email and I'll refund you the cash and you can either nab a download or an LP (or tape or CD which are also coming) whenever it actually gets released.
You can list all the tracks on Bandcamp.
Just not upload files to all of them.
Once the final tracks are made available, then they should be included in any previous purchases then. So it's kinda like a pre-order, where the full download isn't available till the official fill release.
Cool so. All four songs are listed on the page with two active and the final song active on the Fuck Yoga page.
Sure if they're all out across different pages, why not just lash the whole thing up, then.
Yep, might just fuck the whole cunt of a yoke up at this stage.
Ah, ok. I was working off the 'Purchase Full Digital Album' option that was listed on the Bandcamp page as containing the full album.
Deffo don't want a refund as it's sounding good, and if you upload the full thing soon, I'll just download it then from Bandcamp. I should have the ability to do that going on the above.
Harsh vocals are great on it, it's definitely got a very disembodied and obscure vibe.
G'wan and upload it!
Cool as a cucumber, glad you're digging it.
The full album is streaming on bandcamp now.
The really, really full album??
Fuller than a pair of Caitlyn Jenner's knickers!
And almost as surprising.
Glad to see it's finally getting a release tommorow, the t-shirts look deadly
Better late than never 8)
I'm still confused. First, what t-shirts, where? And was I imagining but did I see P.Clancy with an actual vinyl copy, even though I can't see it for purchase anywhere?
We have had our copies of the LP for over a year ago and it's possible that some of those mysteriously leaked out into the public... perhaps.... maybe.... Fuck Yoga have now officially released the album and have done a small run of t-shirts too (We also got a small number of those over a year ago but they are all gone from us).
https://fuckyogarecords.bandcamp.com/merch
It's out. As in, actually out!
The tapes are with the label and look the business from the photos. It'll no doubt be a little while before we get our copies between this, that and the other but whenever they are in we'll stick a few up on the bandcamp page for sale.
Is there a link for the tapes anywhere?
Can't find anything online?
I think Night Rhythms and Analogue Worship have copies. Dunno where else it's available from. I don't think Odd Memory has a website.
Nabbed the last few tapes from Odd Meadow.
If anyone wants one hit me up?
Pariah Child will be getting a few vinyl in too.
https://fuckyogarecords.bandcamp.com/merch/bacterium-longsleeve?from=fanpub_fb_merch
Fuck Yoga have a small run of LSs with the tape design up for sale.
Looks deadly.
Yeah it does. We got ours months ago but we didn't get any to sell ourselves. They turned out great.
Was listening to this again during the week. It is really class stuff, absolutely saturated in the sickest atmosphere. Nothing to add that isn't in the thread already but grabbed a shirt since I never ended up picking up the record before.
Nice one!
I might have a tape left, if anyone's interested.
I've been listening to this a lot recently, really demented stuff and sort of hypnotic in parts, I actually dozed off listening to it when I came in from work yesterday :laugh: That's in no way a slight against the music, it kills, probably just me becoming an old cunt. :abbath:
I don't have a record player here yet but that new longsleeve looks killer, will definitely throw in an order for one on pay day. Nice little nod to Thergothon in the logo on the LS 8)
Cheers. Yeah that logo is almost as much of a Thergothon rip off as the music.
Longsleeve arrived today, looks fucking deadly.
Bizarrely found the only recording I have of Bacterium Mk 1 there the other day, and it's cool but is definitely closer to early WOTH, pretty much straight up doom/death. The album is such a different and much better wonky beast.

I think one riff survived from this those sessions actually.
Got this on vinyl last week. Killer wonk.
Cheers Moose.

The longsleeves are back in stock at Fuck Yoga if anyone feels like making their wardrobe a little more cult. Muiris and Ray will have a few to sell for d'locals.
Any movement on this project since the debut?
No. I'm working on a project of my own right now that's slowly inching towards completion. I have a couple of ideas for other things and I would like to do another Bacterium album at some stage so we'll have to figure out how to do that remotely as I live in Aus now. Never say never, basically.
Cool, I had it on during the week. Would be cool to hear new stuff in the future.

Quote from: CorkonianHunger on September 13, 2023, 11:24:09 AMAny movement on this project since the debut?
No new Bacterium in the works as yet but next time I'm home we intend to record something. Maybe even some new WOTH if we can make all those manky stars align. However, a brand new doom death/ funeral doom/ weird project is under way simply called Died. Give us a year or two...
