Two discs of churning, brooding, grinding doomed malevo-violence — the second of which is comprised solely of the 51-minute five-parter “My Coffin is Loaded with Sand and Fire” — the new Drifting towards the Edge of the Earth from Connecticut bringers-of-darkness When the Deadbolt Breaks is as affecting psychologically as it is sonically. The three-piece outfit’s fourth record will be released on Oct. 1 through Ear One Records, and sure enough, it’s a monster. Challenging and brutal whether raging or creeping in ambient threat,When the Deadbolt Breakshave always promised consumingly bleak fare, and the latest is no exception.

The PR wire has release info for the daring:

WHEN THE DEADBOLT BREAKS: Connecticut Doom Unit Prepares For Release Of Massive Fourth Album

Connecticut’s long-running doom outfit, WHEN THE DEADBOLT BREAKS, is preparing to unload the most massive and expansive recording in their now eight year existence, as their mighty fourth full-length release, aptly entitled Drifting Towards The Edge Of The Earth, nears release.

Formed in 2005 by ex-Cable guitarist/vocalist Aaron Lewis, alongside bassist/vocalist Mike Parkyn and drummer Rich Kalinowski, WTDB signed with EarOne Productions early this year, and set out to capture their most ambitious work yet. Painstakingly recorded this past Spring at Room SevenZeroEight, mastered by Chris Tobias and Mike Livingston at Ear One Studios, on Drifting Towards The Edge Of The Earth WHEN THE DEADBOLT BREAKS is undoubtedly at their finest and most explorative hour. The nearly two-hour-long 2xCD takes the listener on an extensive and extremely lengthy, yet completely engulfing and never lagging voyage through the cosmos and through the annals of sludge/doom. Devastating amplification boasts everything the talented members can create; mournful segues, booming classic rock ballad riffs, mystical and melodic interludes and straightforward, thunderous riffage coalesce into an exceptionally diverse album fans of Sleep, YOB, Ufomammut, Samothrace, Ramesses, Cable and the like will indisputably benefit from experiencing.

With an official street date for Towards The Edge Of The Earth confirmed for October 1st, WHEN THE DEADBOLT BREAKS will host a CD release show this Friday, September 27th in Wallingford, Connecticut with support from Pristina and Rozamov. Admission is only $10 and includes a copy of the band’s new 2xCD ahead of street date. At this show the band will be doing a long set playing almost their entire Drifting Towards The Edge Of The Earth opus to their local fans and friends.

Stay tuned for more music from the album to be released in the coming days.

WHEN THE DEADBOLT BREAKS Live:
9/27/2013 Cherry Street Station – Wallingford, CT w/ Pristina, Rozamov

When the Deadbolt Breaks, “The Scavenger’s Daughter”

I haven’t gotten the lab results back yet, but I’m pretty sure two solid hours of exposure to the tornado of aural malevolence that When the Deadbolt Breaks conjures could have lasting psychological effects. The Connecticut trio have announced that their fourth album, the no-less-cumbersomely-named Drifting Toward the Edge of the Earth, is available now for pre-order through Ear One Records and that it will ship out as a 2CD digipak later this month. Goodness gracious that’s a lot of doom.

Here’s the info:

When the Deadbolt Breaks is releasing our 4th full length record with Ear One Productions. This record is close to 2 hours long on 2 cds. This record is our heart and soul, while we are currently writing for a new record yet again, we pushed ourselves with “Drifting Toward the Edge of the Earth”. Its dark, eclectic and honest.

After a ton of work, we are really psyched to have landed When The Deadbolt Breaks a record deal w/ Ear One Records… (Just in case you didn’t know When The Deadbolt Breaks is Aaron Lewis, Mike Parkyn and Rich Kalinowski). The record label is doing a really cool pre order special where you get the CD (it’s a double CD!) for $10… ($13 w/ shipping). If you’re able to swing ordering the CD, we would be hugely great full for the show of support. So, just throwing it out there… If you have the $13 to spare, we would really appreciate you doing a pre order.

“Drifting Towards The Edge Of The Earth” the new double album from CT’s When The Deadbolt Breaks A nearly two-hour-long diverse, debilitating doom/sludge metamorphosis taking place, the mammoth album is available as a limited edition double CD digipak.

This is a pre-order. Digipaks are expected to start shipping on or around Aug. 27, 2013
