PLAGUE PATROL / SEWER FIEND split LP (YELLOW VINYL)

DRY COUGH

Brand new split from UK dank death-doom dealers SEWER FIEND, and Czech OSDM monstrosity PLAGUE PATROL. To date, both bands have only one release each under their belts, and Dry Cough had a hand in both; SEWER FIEND’s being their ‘Echoes From The Cistern’ EP, which was so well received and three pressings sold out quick. PLAGUE PATROL’s Demo 2021 was as equally well acclaimed and sold out quickly, both release having numerous other pressings and versions around the globe with SEWER ROT RECORDS, BLACK LEGION RECORDS, OBLITERATION RECORDS, HEADSPLIT RECORDS, PSYCHOCONTROL RECORDS, GUTLESS PRODUCTIONS and BEHIND THE MOUNTAIN… That should tell you enough of the buzz around these bands.

SEWER FIEND side of the split consists of two tracks of the dense and atmospheric death-doom that so many fell in love with after hearing the band’s first release. Expect another unhealthy dose of their mutant blend of oozing, gargantuan riffs and ghastly growls, insterspersed with dark psychedelic flourishes, underpinned by grotesque, meandering basslines and intense, pummelling beats.

PLAGUE PATROL draw once more upon the horror of the John Carpenter movie, The Thing; marrying their infatuation with this classic sci-fi flick with their love of no nonesense OSDM. Three tracks of unrelenting, frenzied riffing and desperate, anxiety-inducing vocals, riddled with doom and a permeating sense of dread.
