Third Island

Pity about that John. Keep on truckin' anyway.

Cheers.  Ah yeah we're still plugging away, have an absolute rake of stuff demo'd out as three of us but just need to get the time now to do it properly!  Different dynamic so it changed up how we write a fair bit.

[Emphyrio]

Hopefully leads to interesting stuff, which I'm sure it will.

LIVE II is now up on Bandcamp:

For the day that's in it, all our CDs and Shirts are reduced to clear and available in bundles.  Give them a nosey here if you're into that sort of thing:

Let me know what ye think of it.  Cheers for your support.

Have this on here just coming to the end of it now and I think these versions come off better than the original ones with the extra heft. Way sludgier but in a good way. It's not the other fella being gone either, it's the extra dirt just suits it

Sound for giving it a spin, glad you enjoyed it.  I obviously enjoy the originals of these but do like playing them stripped back like this, and we picked songs where we found we could use the dynamics a bit more to work around the member less - so ones that don't sound like they're missing something when it gets heavy, and ones where we can play with the space more in the quiet sections.  What we're gearing up to write will be more in the vein of these few too.

I haven't had much to post in here for a while but it's three years since our last album, Unspeakable, so the digital is up for free / NYP on Bandcamp for the foreseeable future to mark it, knock yourselves out:

We've new stuff written and now recording for release next year too.

[BoobC]

This is great.

This is great.

Cheers!  We'll have new stuff next year and are a three piece now, the more recent Live EP on Bandcamp would give you a better idea of what we're up to nowadays.

[Caomhaoin]

Really cool tracks.

Both vocal lines are very well executed, solid riffs and little to no fannying about.

The choon 'Dunwich' is outstanding.

A minor thing, and it's just an opinion, is a bit more oomph from the bass in certain areas would give it another dimension.

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!  I liked the two vocal approach too but since the other lad left we're down to one guitar/one vox (me, roaring).  Which helps with the bass anyway, now its wellied up in the mix to compensate - agree with you on it though, I like bass to be prominent and punchy and got it a bit more like that for the new stuff.

I know what happened there but we shouldn't speak ill of the dead I suppose.

A little bump, we will have some new music this week so I am digging out the thread in the meantime.

[Necro Red]

Nice one. Been a fan since the first EP, don't own a copy of The last album. I must rectify that

Cheers, glad you enjoy it!  It'll be one track Friday with a full EP the following month anyway (while we wait for the new CDs to actually arrive...)

Great stuff. Found you guys during lockdown and got all your albums. Remember at the time(in the depths of pandemic) the song "locked away" of omelas hit me like a ton of bricks.
Could also have been the copious amount of alcohol I was drinking at the time
