Doomsday Profit Announce Fall Live Plans; Self-Titled LP Out Sept. 19
Though it’s been streaming since I don’t know when — May? was it May? — the self-titled sophomore LP (review here) from not-all-Southern-sludge socially conscious four-piece Doomsday Profit will see its real-life arrival next Friday, Sept. 19. The celebration starts early, with shows this weekend in Virginia and the band’s native North Carolina. The weekender is one of a few they’ll do between now and the start of November, as the PR wire informs, and while I know it’s not the farthest-ranging tour ever, at least they’re getting out, and it is another excuse for me to post about the record before it’s released, so I’ll take that happily.
And I guess I did and here we are.

There’s no time to waste. At least that’s how Doomsday Profit seems to be operating. After making their debut with the gritty stoner-sludge of 2021’s In Idle Orbit, the Durham, N.C.-based band issued 2024’s psych-leaning split with Virginia-based Smoke, and has kept the momentum going ever since. With their forthcoming self-titled album, Doomsday Profit now has embedded an even wider array of influences into their acerbic, dystopian sludge. Particles of monolithic doom, grisly death ‘n’ roll grooves, driving punk rock and scathing black metal all flash in the band’s raw self-titled LP.
