Rongeur Set March 9 Release for An Asphyxiating Embrace

rongeur

Head over to the Bandcamp page for Norwegian sludgers Rongeur and the story seems pretty complicated, but here’s the upshot so far as I can gather: The band is heavy as fuck and their debut album, An Asphyxiating Embrace, is coming out March 9 digitally with physical pressings to follow at some point thereafter. The good news is that if you feel so inclined you can check out the track “Weltschmerz” now — at the bottom of this post, even! — and see if you can resist the urge to punch yourself in the head while listening. I could not, but to be fair, neither was I really trying to. So it goes.

More to come on this one I think before the release, so stay tuned. Until then, the PR wire has info:

Bio:
The dystopian stoner/sludge/doom metal trio Rongeur was formed in the autumn of 2012. The band is known for playing loud, having a shared love for old tube amps, feedback, distortion, Neurosis, Seigmen and Black Sabbath. Rongeur therefore offer varying levels of angst, and batter you with their unique brand of heavy.

Rongeur is:
Dag Ole: bass and vocals
Ken-Robert: guitar and vocals
Jon: drums and vocals less
