I met these guys back at Bloodstock in 2010 and it was off the back of meeting them that i created WPC in the first place as a way of hearing some of the cracking bands that are out of town and nasty as fuck! So headlining the first ever When Planets Collide night that very October i was chuffed as nuts to have brought hem up here from deepest darkest Plymouth….

and now to hear that they are back in action after a very turbulent time is great news and boasting one of the most evil sounding female vocalists in existence this really is one to look forward too, especially with their new guitarist Owen who really adds a dark Neurosis inspired feel to their already unnerving and brooding doom. The sound of this is truly scary (and this is the premastered version!) with the Bass of Jim Willlumsen rattling your very soul as they thunder through 11 minutes of absolute hell…

To says this makes me wish my life away is an understatement, so come help them back on their feet by buying this cracking new track from their forthcoming release this summer (and get their amazing demo whilst your here too!)

GURT played the first London show of 2012 to an absolutely jam packed room in the Purple Turtle this Sunday on the Diamond Jubilee celebration weekend and What better way to celebrate the Jubilee at Absolute Filth 4 than covering this little gem that was released 35 years ago on another fecking Jubille day in 1977…. blah blah blah

It was loads of fun though for yet another evil cover for the GURT set….

Sorry the sound is fucked so try and ENJOY!!

So here we go… back for the second time after stunning the crowd at our most recent WPC ‘Thursday is the new Doomsday’ event ,the magnificent PROFANE AND THE SACRED!! Ready to crank things up a notch and get everyone jumping about after a belly full of burgers this London mob have yet another opportunity to make the foundations of the Windmill crumble!

…. and don’t hold your breath, with have one more band to announce very soon!!

The fantastic artwork designed by the great Dan Schooler from the brand new album by the awesome lot Trippy Wicked is available on a T-shirt and whats more there is a ton of other cool stuff available from the Superhot Records store which will also include the new GURT release as of Monday.

If you more patient than most, you can just wait until the end of the month and get yourself one from here!

Who likes Buckfast? Well the Bendal Interlude do, and if you do too you may recognize where this T-shirt design was referenced from, and its for that very reason that this is way beyond awesome!!

I already have one as it seemed like forever a wait for them to get Merch, so get on it and buy one and they will send you loads of cool extra stuff with it too in the form of a badge, Sticker and even a patch. What more could you want.

Blimey, it’s a busy day for videos today! And this time it’s for the wonderfully evil female fronted Undersmile. We have a fresh lot of amazing bands with women at the helm and in particular Alunah, Ishmael and Undersmile seem to be leading the charge.

It’s a rather scary video and damn this is bleak, but after watching this it really will put you off falling asleep in the cinema!

These guys are acting fast, just days after getting my review up of their fantastic 3 track demo it appears Limb now have a new video, and it look spretty damn good! Not sure if they have a cheeky green screen hidden away in their practice room, but this videos views of graveyards and psychedelic backdrops make it dark yet quite trippy all at the same time!!

ENJOY!!

I know most people go on and on about the links between the sound of Iron Witch and Eyehategod but the one thing a must say about the latter band is that for me, the recording was never quite up to scratch until the last album ‘Confederacy of Ruined Lives’ and was always a little too tinny for my taste. With Iron Witch though this has never been a problem and this new 2 song offering just sounds even more gargantuan than previous efforts. The twin guitars of little liverpuddlians Dan and Sam are truly monstrous and make your ears feel as though they are being dragged through some rather rusty and unpleasant nails, and leave that nice warm tetanus feeling as you listen!

Most importantly I think is that someone really seems to have rattled vocalist Chris Fane’s cage, he has never sounded this pissed off before and it just makes this band even more exciting. Maybe it’s the fact that the band have managed to get a lot of live shows under their belt since the previous EP and he has honed his skills or maybe its just because someone keeps hiding his bottle of Whiskey, but whatever the reason it works and really adds that special something to this cracker of an EP.

I really love the idea of bands steering clear from long waits between albums and prefer the method of EPs coming thick and fast, the only problem that I have with this release in particular is the long wait before I get the physical copy in my hand! But hey I suppose that’s more the fault of the label and not the band (and all will be forgiven once I receive along with a very sexy new T-shirt)

If you want to hear this filthy little beast, you can here…

But if you want to own it alongside a lovely new shirt design, you can here.

But whatever you choose, get in quick as they will not be around for long!!

So, you could be sat waiting down in St James Park or Bucky Palace for some glammed up Old lady to come say hi with some crazed 90 old year old racist by her side OR you could be in the Purple Turtle seeing a collection of the greatest underground sludge bands from the local area and one mighty epic set of monsters that have come ALL THE WAY from Sweden to entertain the likes of you for a mere £5!

Choice is yours but i know where you SHOULD be!!!

(and you can get so royally tanked up that you can use the 2 days off after as an excuse to recover!)

See you there then innit!!!!!

Thats right…On Monday June 4th 2012 GURT be going Old Skool and re-releasing both of the first EPs together alongside a demo of Soapfeast not available anywhere else on CASSETTE tape…. so bust out your old Walkman and stomp down the street to the sludge blues stylings of this very limited release.
