Beneath Oblivion Announce May Tour Dates

Posted in Whathaveyou on April 21st, 2015 by JJ Koczan

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.

05/04 – Cincinnati, OH – Rake’s End
05/05 – Pittsburgh, PA – the Smiling Moose
05/06 – Brooklyn, NY – The Acheron

Beneath Oblivion Touring the Midwest Starting this Week

Posted in Whathaveyou on November 5th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

Ohio crushers Beneath Oblivion will start a 10-date run this week in St. Louis, Missouri, that will carry them around the Midwest in support of 2011’s From Man to Dust full-length. The brutal sludge/doom outfit are slated to have a follow-up to From Man to Dust out in 2015, and they have other vinyl coming through The Mylene Sheath as well, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they hit on some new material at the shows, at which they’ll also be debuting the fruit of their alliance with Omega, a custom speaker cabinet maker based out of the band’s hometown of Cincinnati.

The PR wire takes it from here:

Beneath Oblivion Post Trailer for New Album

Posted in Bootleg Theater on August 9th, 2011 by JJ Koczan

The new full-length from Cincinnati doomers Beneath Oblivion is called From Man to Dust (out Sept. 27), and if you think the title sounds crushing, you should get a load of the trailer for the record they just posted. Gurgle gurgle.

Dig it and some choice selections off the PR wire:

The album was recorded during a sweltering heat wave in a massive, formerly abandoned warehouse in Cincinnati, OH, by Andy Perkins, with samples, mixing and additional tracking done at his own Perkins Ranch in Erlanger, KY. The natural reverb from the multitude of room microphones in the gargantuan space further conveys the ambitious grandeur of the record. After the mixing of the album was completed, the whole thing was sent off to the legendary engineer/producer Billy Anderson to master (Neurosis, High on Fire, Melvins), the resulting sound confidently captures the devastating nature of the material itself.

Artwork design for the album was handled by the band’s own Allen Lee Scott with layout duties taken care of by N. Shumaker / Northerlightsindustries.com. The vinyl version of the 80-minute epic will be a 2xLP on colored vinyl with heavy, thick gatefold jackets containing spot gloss and a lyrics insert. The CD will come in a thick, recycled stock five inch cardboard gatefold jacket. The album will be released worldwide Sept. 27 via The Mylene Sheath. “Inner and outer conflicts have grown, mental, global, crumbling and too far gone.”
