VERDUN (sludge/dark hardcore ffo Burning Witch, EW, Amenra)

[Throatruiner]

Named after the most inhuman battle in the First World War, VERDUN (Montpellier - France) are one of those bands that are hard to label, merging the lines between sludge/doom and slowed-down dark hardcore. Heavy and dry riffing, neck-breaking groove, incantatory vocals and a strong psychedelic feel, that's what you can expect from the half-hour of their debut EP "The Cosmic Escape Of Admiral Masuka". Carrying a strong live reputation, VERDUN is definitely one of those bands to watch for any fan of Burning Witch, Electric Wizard, or Amenra; and by extension anything dark and crushing.

Pro-tape, hand-assembled packaging (die-cut cardboard sleeve & booklet). Tracks are pressed on both sides. Limited to 99 hand-numbered copies - comes with a download code. CD version available on Head Records.
