Smoke and Doomsday Profit to Release Split LP Oct. 25
I haven’t yet had the pleasure of hearing the upcoming split LP between Virginia’s Smoke and North Carolina’s Doomsday Profit in its entirety, but each band has a track streaming now as a complement to the release announcement, and oof, they’re heavy. The release is out Oct. 25 through Olde Magick Records, and both acts carry a next-generational interpretation of Southern-style heft, feeling pointedly vicious in respective cuts “Scavenger” and “No Salvation” in what if we’re lucky will prove telling of a theme for the release as a whole.
Something of a note to myself to look forward to a thing here, but if you’ve caught onto what either of these bands — both of whom I’d list as up-and-coming in terms of listener attention and realizing potential — are doing over the last few years, you might also find yourself anticipating the release. If not, stream those tracks and be ready to heed the I-should-preorder-this impulse after; there are only 270 copies of the vinyl to be had.
As the PR wire tells it:
Southern doom and heavy psych dealers Smoke (VA) & Doomsday Profit (NC) have joined forces for a Split LP, out Oct. 25 via Olde Magick Records.
Both Smoke and Doomsday Profit have earned accolades for their previous efforts, but are taking big leaps on this split. Drawing from deep wells of Southern sludge and dark psychedelia, the split release builds upon the promise of both bands’ early efforts with an increasingly exploratory approach to doom, sludge, and heavy psych — both heavier and spacier than the releases that preceded it. The strains of doom, stoner-rock, sludge, heavy psych and Southern metal that course through the split should appeal to fans of acts as disparate as All Them Witches and Buzzov-en.
Vinyl edition limited to 270 copies worldwide. Pressed on blue and pink swirl vinyl.
