DEADFORM - Entrenched in Hell (2024) CD

The name is Deadform, the album is called Entrenched in Hell, and somehow they still had to clarify the genre is sludge metal and crust punk. Redundant information. You already knew what this was going to sound like.

American sludge with a crust backbone is a specific kind of punishment, the kind that Eyehategod and Dystopia made fashionable and that bands like Deadform have kept alive with genuine conviction rather than nostalgia. Entrenched in Hell dropped in 2024 and it sounds like it was dug up rather than recorded. Heavy, corroded, and completely uninterested in making friends with anyone who thinks metal needs a hook. This belongs in the dark aesthetic corner of your collection alongside your heaviest vinyl and your most battered denim.

CD format, 2024 pressing, full length. Full tracklist available on request.

Fans of: Eyehategod, Dystopia, Disembodied, Grief.
