As twisted and provocative as we expect them to be, Canada's sludge outlaws DOPETHRONE just
unleashed their new (rated R) video "Scum Fuck Blues" on Cvlt Nation.
This first video sets the tone for the trio's forthcoming full-length
"Hochelaga", due out April 13th on Totem Cat Records.
The 100% "sex, drugs and murder" video for "Scum Fuck Blues" was produced by America's horror merchants The Whore Church,
also known for taking part in last year's Housecore Horror Fest as well
as for their disturbing blood-drenched video mixtapes. With a chorus
like "Smoke, drink, die", we can easily assume that DOPETHRONE have found the perfect partners in crime for their propaganda...
Get your brain ripped to pieces with "Scum Fuck Blues" on Cvlt Nation
After
three records that literally made the sludge & doom community bow
down in front of their evilness, Canada's most insane and weed-laden
trio gets back to business with the upcoming release of their new album "Hochelaga". DOPETHRONE's
riffage is more infectious than ever, atmospheres are nothing but
filthy and degenerate, and the overall sound is as monstrous and
crushing as a mountain troll crawling into Montréal's sewers. You've
been warned...
"Hochelaga" out April 13th via Totem Cat 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 they released their first LP "Demonsmoke" on STB Records, the band unleashed "Dark Foil"
via Totem Cat Records in 2011, then got invited to Roadburn Festival in
2012 by festival curators Voivod. The performance was followed by the
release of third album "III", in support of which the trio toured Europe two times. Montreal’s distortion-powered sledgehammer DOPETHRONE
is set to be back in 2015 with a fourth heavier and most of all
thrashier full-length… The band will perform at DesertFest London and
Berlin and Heavy Days In Doomtown this spring, and will make their very
first appearance in Los Angeles for a special performance in November !
