As City Of
Dust, the debut full-length release from disobedient, desert-based Sludge
faction, Godhunter, is now just a month from release, Decibel Magazine
unloads the album's first single which exposes some of the Intense political
views of the band.
Driven by
Godhunter's archetypal ultra low-end riff Assault and earthmoving
amplification, City Of Dust's third chapter, "Brushfires," bears massive
duality when it comes to the lyrics and messages smoldering within its inflamed
core. Collectively states the band on the track's intent: "This song is about
the Yarnell Hill Fire that took the lives of 19 firefighters in Arizona in 2013,
but it is also about the well being of our state. In recent years, Arizona HAS
been embroiled in divisive politics that have not only exposed a deep seeded
unrest, but also a denial of Climate science, logic, and common decency. It is
our hope that something positive will emerge from this and other related
tragedies."
The entire
statement is now posted alongside a premiere of "Brushfires" at The Deciblog --
fire it up RIGHT HERE.
The CD and digital
versions of City Of Dust will see release on February 18th, a cooperative
release between The Compound and the band's Battleground Records, with a massive
LP version slated for Spring release. Preorders for the CD are available now via
Earsplit Distro HERE.
Tucson's Godhunter, while sonically-akin to Noothgrush, Eyehategod and Weedeater
also bears politically-motivated crust/punk attributes, as proven on a multitude
of steady independent vinyl and CD releases since their late 2009 inception.
Their sun-baked debut LP, City Of Dust, shows them exploring more
sonically-destructive tones, expanding the subtle but powerful use of synths,
even acoustic elements and gravelly, clean vocal segments infiltrate the bed of
roared vocal tirades, samples, Gang bellows. More than simply a collection of
songs amassed for the purpose of releasing an album, City Of Dust
presents a fully conceptual statement, lyrically delivering a political
by-the-throat theme which unravels through the bitter finale. Through Eight
anthems the album blazes through exactly fifty minutes of brand new material,
recorded with Ryan
Butler (Landmine Marathon, Unruh) at Arcane Digital
Studios (Exhumed, Misery Index), where Godhunter the band also recorded
the Wolves EP.
Continuing their live
inundation of the Southwestern quadrant of the country over the past several
years, Godhunter is devising American tour actions to take place via
several widespread regional offensives throughout the year, including the
upcoming third installment of the Southwest Terror Fest which the band organizes
each year in their hometown. Further broadcasts will follow.
