If you reach out to us directly on this forum, we can offer better prices than those on bandcamp, 6€ for the first and 8€ for the second.

Thank you all very much for the interest in Plague Pit. This was the first community to take notice of the debut and we're very thankful for that!

That sounds pretty decent, going to be doing any physical copies or just keeping it digital?

Nice artwork.  It reminds me of 'The Bastard' by Hammers of Misfortune. I'll give it a listen later.

Thanks for checking it out! We might do a physical release, it depends on whether the label will want to release the CD or not. There can be a long delay between the physical and digital releases though. For instance, Topheth Ablaze was released digitally in January and it's only coming out on CD this month.

Thanks a lot! I haven't heard this band but I googled their artwork and, indeed, there's a similar vibe.

Sounds brilliant man, what label is it coming out on if it does get a physical release?

Hello!
Thanks for checking out our EP. Ablaze Productions from Mexico released our first 2, so they may be interested in this one as well. It's 100% up to them though. We're not actively trying to get it released on physical media, to be honest. I don't think there's enough interest in our material to warrant the trouble - but if somebody wants to do it, we won't stop them.

Still absolutely insistent on not playing live?

Still absolutely insistent on not playing live?

Yes. I know that playing live would perhaps make us look more legit, but now we're only 2 people and all the work and logistics that would have to be put into this are beyond what we can commit to at the moment (and the future is not looking much better tbh). Our gear purchases are also completely focused on the recording and production ends of the spectrum, so we'd have to invest in new equipment that would ultimately end up underutilized. On top of that, with the fucked up work/life balance that we have, we'd only be able to play sporadically, for the same 5-6 people that care 

The bottom line is: we'd go from a halfway decent studio band to a struggling, underfunded live band.

edit: illiteracy

[Pentagrimes]

Absolutely getcha on that. A limited budget is probably best utilised being able to write and record frequently than throwing it away on rehearsals to play the same set for a handful of people (and likely not be paid for it) every few months, and I'd also imagine given the complexity of some of the material on the album finding requisite live members would be no joke either. Twould be cool to see live but that all makes sense.

A quick update:

We've just received a few copies of our first 2 albums on CD, released by the Mexican label Ablaze Productions. We'll be listing them on Bandcamp tonight. Links will be posted here when everything is properly catalogued on our Bandcamp.

Thanks, man! Glad to know you like it. It's shorter than the other 2, but much more time was spent on this one.

Been keeping up on the last few releases through Bandcamp, last two are class.  Must sort out the new one and the CD's after the long march to payday is done.
