deadriverrunsdry.bandcamp.com/album/hierophants-of-the-storm Physical copies available in due course.
A charred black slab of
Ruthless Venom that only a country like Australia could
spit out, Dead River Runs Dry's is an
Obsession with the
Annihilation of
constraint, a
Savage Reaction to
Existence as determined by ignorance and an
insight into further paradigms that are offered through experience alone...
After receiving accolades from around the globe for their
Ominous Winter 2012 release (available through
Aurora Australis Records), contributing to the massive Elemental Nightmares split 7” project, delivering a series of blistering live performances up and
Down Australia’s
Eastern Front, an appearance at
Evil Invaders 2013, and a successful Sydney/Melbourne/Hobart tour with
The Amenta and
Ruins, Dead River Runs Dry's debut album
Hierophants of the Storm is now available to download/stream through Bandcamp. Physical copies and distribution will be handled later in the year.
Merging elements of black
Metal and other metallic sub genre offshoots, hard
rock/heavy
Metal, haunting melody and a slight ‘experimental’ edge, Dead River Runs
Dry thrive on chaos and revel in live performances.
---------------------------------------
Dead River Runs
Dry adds to the
Bleak horrors
Rising from the Australian
hellscape. They
Rot ears with
Blackened Hatred, and it’s expertly realized…
- Decibel (USA) Harsh and cruel with an unflinching, frequently pulverising delivery, showing
DRRD to already be thinking of more grandiose actions…
- Terrorizer (UK) DRRD achieve the commingling of barbarism and nobility that is the highest
End of black metal…
- Lurker’s Path HAS the
Stamina to
Carve out an ideological hellhole all of its own in the barren
wastes of the Australian desert; this is not a band that channels anything bright
or joyous. Prophetic, sun-blasted, and antagonistic from start to finish…
- Heathen Harvest Dead River Runs
Dry paints a portrait of a torn and
Blasted wasteland —
damned,
Desolate, and dangerous. Yet it’s a landscape with its own
Bleak beauty and vibrancy…created and performed by some dudes who clearly know
What The Fuck they’re doing…
- No Clean Singing Grim, chaotic, hateful,
Evil, and everything else that makes black
Metal what it
is…
- Sludge Factory (Aus) Acquire this
Thirteen minute offering to the gods from below the equator, and
you will gaze into the twisting innards of this revered land’s next generation of
hell-bringers with admiration!
- Worm Gear
