Ohio sludgers Beneath Oblivion have an assortment of releases planned for the rest of 2015, including splits with Fister and Before the Eyewall, a new LP to be recorded in the Fall with none other than Billy (frickin’) Anderson and, to coincide with their upcoming round of tour dates next month, a two-song tape limited to a scant, probably-already-accounted-for 50 copies, self-recorded and probably unlikely to see repress. Sounds like a good time to me. The tour is 19 dates, so it’s hard to imagine they’ll return with any tapes left, and not that their omega-toned extremity really needs much of a sell other than its own viciousness, but a new tape never hurt anybody either.

The band sent the following dates and info down the PR wire, so have at it:

Cincinnati, Ohio’s longtime amp wielders Beneath Oblivion are set to embark on a 19-date tour in less than 2 weeks from now. Everything in their path along the Eastern Seaboard will be crushed with the band’s unique blend of sludge and funeral doom.

Beneath Oblivion has been described as a lurching, bleak soul searching type of experience that carries many of the old-school doom elements combined with extreme metal and punk, but with a fresh spin that thinks outside of the box. A behemoth of screechy and sometimes guttural vocals, massive guitars, pounding drums, and sludgy bass. Formed in 2003 and going strong. Beneath Oblivion are a rust belt doom band in the truest sense.

For this tour only, the band DIY recorded two songs for a release limited to only 50 cassettes which can’t be purchased anywhere other than one of these shows. In the next couple months Pirate Ship Records will be releasing a split 7″ with St. Louis sludge trio, Fister, a 10″ split with Before the Eyewall will come this summer, and Beneath Oblivion has plans to record a new full-length LP with Billy Anderson in the Autumn of this year.
