Body Void 2LP PRE-ORDER //
Vile Creature & Leechfeast LPs OUT NOW //
plus, Gilead Media pre-orders.


Hey there!
Things have been mad busy since that last newsletter, so lets get straight to it!


Body Void - I Live Inside A Burning House 2LP & Cassette
OUT MAY 11th - NOW AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER!


Following their well received debut release "Ruins" in 2016, Body Void returned to Earhammer Studios, once again under the watchful ear of Greg Wilkinson and submitted to tape an hour of painful sludge and wretched doom to welcome the year of 2018.

Continuing in the same style as fellow doom peers and labelmates Primitive Man and Keeper, as well as genre-defining bands like Khanate, Body Void built upon what they started with previous demos and "Ruins" but expanding upon what they have already manufactured to create, biased of course, what we consider one of the great doom metal records of 2018.

Leechfeast - Neon Crosses LP
OUT NOW!


Dry Cough Records & Rope Or Gullotine are proud to announce 'Neon Crosses', the new record from Slovenian sludge/doom quartet, Leechfeast. This is the band's second full length release, and their first new material since the 2015 split EP with fellow filth-peddlers, Meth Drinker.

"Neon Crosses' was born from the fertile soil of false salvation, wounds left by expectations and refusal to let things go - all illuminated by the flicker of the streetlight. Cancerous nature of deteriorating urban sprawl, endless possibilities of contradiction and the slow, grandiose waltz circling the drain. The stars are shining bright, the crosses of neon even brighter..."

Order here or here.

Vile Creature - Cast Of Static And Smoke LP
OUT NOW!



Dry Cough & Halo of Flies are proud to announce Cast of Static and Smoke, the new record from Canadian two piece Vile Creature.
This album is a logical progression from their previous releases, both in sound and content. Three years ago their first LP, A Steady Descent into the Soil mirrored bleak, blackened doom metal with equally melancholy stories of growing up queer before it was part of the greater lexicon as it is today . 2016 EP A Pessimistic Doomsayer explored escaping your demons by forging relationships with works of fiction. With Cast of Static and Smoke the band have delved into building a world of their own while writing a compelling 44 minutes of suffering metal.

Cast of Static and Smoke is a record & short story. A dystopian science fiction taking place well after civilization has been destroyed by its own nuclear ambitions. The record is 4 songs that embody emotions felt by characters & moments that take place within the story, the album is less chronological and more a response to certain instances. Musically the band is as heavy as they have ever been and then some, weaving through different paces & influences with ease while maintaining their foundation in Doom.
The record also features guest contributions from members/ex-members of Cursed, False, Sect, & Former Worlds.

Order here or here.

Vile Creature pre-orders and streams / Ommadon / Leechfeast / Body Void / Pascagoula....

Hey there!
Wow... It's been over 6 months since I updated this! I put it down to a combination of the facts I'm busy, lazy, and I hate writing them.
Anyway, here's a brief update...

It's been relatively quiet since the Cloud Rat / Disrotted split was released. Due to various reasons, a couple of records that were originally due out last year were delayed, so now i have a bottleneck resulting in FIVE LPs coming out in the next 3-4 months.

The first of these is the new album from Canadian self-proclaimed 'Angry Queer Gloom Cult' doom duo, Vile Creature, due for release via Dry Cough and Halo Of Flies on 9th March.
You can hear for yourselves just how great this record is by checking out the two tracks currently streaming over at Invisible Oranges and Revolver Magazine. Keep your eyes open for a full album stream in the very near future....



It's early days but the reviews and write-ups it's received so far have been great; go read:
Glacially Musical
The Sound Not The Word
Metal Sucks
Vinyl pre-orders are up now here (UK/Europe) and from Halo of Flies here (North America), with cassettes available directly from the band here.

Release dates have yet to be finalised, but from late April onwards, my next four releases should arrive in the following order:

Ommadon
End Times LP
(co-release with At War With False Noise, DGR, Medusa Crush)
Leechfeast
Neon Crosses
(co-release with Rope Or Guillotine)
Body Void
I Live Inside a Burning House 2LP
(co-release with Crown & Throne Ltd)
Pascagoula
The Path, The Cross, The Aftermath LP
(co-release with the Badlads)

When release dates, streams, etc are finalised, I'll be sure to let you know, so keep your beady eyes pointed towards Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and your inbox.

I mentioned last year that I wanted to increase the quality and quantity of stock in the distro, and I managed to do that by the end of 2017, however due to the need to raise much needed funds for the above, I ran a couple of sales which resulted in the stock levels dropping considerably. I intend to improve things again soon, but for the next few months my main focus will be on my own releases - which will hopefully result in a much healthier distro further down the line.

Right, I'm done for now.
Thanks for reading; until next time...
