Ya know there's already a band called Drought in England... ExConan Bass player Phils band he's been at for a few years. Just thought it worth mentioning.

We recorded a play through of our track "Dismal Grin".

For those interested, signal chain was LTD EC1000 into an AxeFxii on the standard 6505 setting. This was blended with the studio audio which was a dual tracked Triple Rectifier.

We're excited to announce that pre-orders and streams for our new EP "Splitting Tongues" are now live. The EP will be released on CD via Cursed Monk Records and on a limited edition hand numbered tape via Fomorian Hate. Both versions will come with digital downloads and will be released fully on March 11th.

CD Release & "Empty Vessel" Stream: https://cursedmonk.bandcamp.com/album/splitting-tongues
Tape Release & "Throne of Traitors" Stream: http://store.fomorianhaterecords.com/products/689990-fraught-splitting-tongues

This EP was recorded in Hellfire Studios with Ivan Jackman handling the Mixing/Mastering. Artwork by Black Fever Art & Layout by Fraught.

As some here may be aware, we also had to change our name from Drought prior to recording this due to other bands sharing the same name, so we shall be operating under the name "Fraught" going forward.
