Fumarole Releasing Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes LP Next Week
Posted in Whathaveyou on October 22nd, 2020 by JJ Koczan
Brisbane trio Fumarole have their ducks in a row on their debut album, Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and by ducks I definitely mean riffs. Posted for digital consumption on Oct. 16, the record will be released on vinyl next week through Interstellar Smoke Records, beating the glut of Halloween offerings by a day. Take that, everybody else.
You can hear the record, so by all means, don’t let me keep you. You’ll find it to be a garden of fuzzy delights set to a sci-fi narrative that serves as a pretty clear analog to existence under capitalism, “Desert Worms” and all.
PR wire has info, audio is at the bottom:

As with all great bands, Fumarole initially met… through work? Having pulled together a full lineup in April of 2018, the Australian outfit rapidly developed a sound reminiscent of their heroes in bands like Orange Goblin and Earthless but also local bands like Zong and Witchskull. Having gelled almost instantly, the band record their debut EP, Mountain, in their rehearsal space and have since followed that up with singles “Ghost Smoke” and “Valley” in 2019. Heads started to turn, and now the band seeks to push their fully solidified sound, further focusing on dark creatures and bleak futures. Taking the Antipodes by storm, it’s only a matter of time before Fumarole blows out an amp near you!
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is set in a future where the rich have enslaved the poor and placed them on a planet to mine a bacteria that can keep them alive forever. Recorded at Love Street Studios and mixed with Scott French. Mastered at Satanic Audio.
