Bible Basher to Release Loud Wailing Tape June 26

Took me a second to do the mental recall on the source of Bible Basher‘s moniker; I’ll readily admit it’s been a long time since I put on Deicide. But that track, with Glenn Benton‘s high screams/low growls belting out with speed so silly, is one bound to leave an impression anyhow, so yes, that’s where it comes from. Loud Wailing is the Sheffield, UK-based band’s debut release — the first EP — and holy shit it’s heavy. Sludgelord Records is pretty reliable when it comes to putting this stuff out on tape, and I have no doubt they’re up to the task here, but in apparently bringing together members of Kurokuma, Archelon, Temple of Coke and Spaztik Munkey, the new outfit are a vision of extreme sludge metal that pushes beyond the pill-popping pestilence that is Fistula and into more deathly, rot-infused grime.

Their slogan would seem to be “words from the bible, riffs from hell,” and if you can understand the lyrics of “So Samson Sang” well enough to discern if that’s true, kudos. The band are streaming that EP opener right now at the bottom of this post ahead of the tape coming out on June 26, so by all means, give it a shot, but know that you’ve been warned what’s coming.

Let the self-flagellation begin:
