DOPETHRONE debut their new split record with US doom trio FISTER now via Cvlt Nation



Montréal's sludge champions DOPETHRONE just released a strikingly filthy new song today, as part of the exclusive "Host/The Failure" split record with Saint Louis' blackened doom trio FISTER. Plug in your speakers or headphones now and turn the volume to the maximum: it may be the last thing you'll ever hear... 
 
 
Check out the DOPETHRONE/FISTER split now on Cvlt Nation
 
 
The "Host/The Failure" split record with Fister is available now on free download or "pay what you want" via BandcampIt will see a 7" release later this year on Dopethrone's own imprint Riff Dealer Records.
 
The riff comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s clean, catchy and elegant. Sometimes it’s filthy, grimy and about as elegant as a sledgehammer to the sternum. DOPETHRONE is the latter. This D.I.Y trio from Hochelaga, Montreal’s trashiest ghetto, wallows in smoke, demons, death, the occult and enough psychotropic drugs to send both Hunter S. Thomspson and William Burroughs on one hell of a trip. Delivering some of the filthiest, most skull-crushing riffs drenched in distortion and fuzz, they encompass the bleakness of black metal, the steadfastness of New Orleans-style sludge with a heavier-than-thou doom mentality. Riffage is thick, punishing, suffocating and destructive and demonic vocals are harsh, visceral and animal-like for tunes dripping with pervasive THC. DOPETHRONE take over doom and view it through a crusty lens, and that perspective rise the genre to new heights of sonic filth.
 
After three records that have knocked out all sludge & doom fans across the globe, Canada's insane weed-laden trio DOPETHRONE returned in 2015 with their third album "Hochelaga" - named after the trio's dodgy neighbourhood in Montréal. "Hochelaga" is simply their most infectious effort to date, and has been widely acclaimed by the international critic. With a new split record with US doom merchants Fister released through their own label Riff Dealer Records, 2016 will also see the band embarking on a long tour, including appearances at Hellfest, Maryland Deathfest and Stoned From The Underground.
