DEADFORM: Sludge Metal/Crust Punk Trio Featuring Former Members Of Laudanum, Stormcrow, And Dystopia To Release Entrenched In Hell Debut On October 25th Via Tankcrimes; New Single Now Playing + Preorders Available

Oakland-based sludge metal/crust punk trio DEADFORM, featuring former members of Laudanum, Stormcrow, and Dystopia, will unleash their debut full-length, Entrenched In Hell, on October 25th via Tankcrimes.

Entrenched In Hell emerges as a critical fusion of sludge metal and crust punk that comprises and compliments the previous projects of its three members. The six-track offering follows their 2022 self-titled demo with themes of war, cults, famine, and mortality that evoke a more personal attachment to the subject matter. With Entrenched In Hell a convergence of seemingly incompatible genres has become greater than the sum of its parts. Those parts are heavy, chugging, and drenched in distortion while still allowing the music to breathe, showcasing the decades of songwriting experience shared by the trio. Is it Crust? Is it Metal? Is it Punk? Though difficult to neatly categorize, DEADFORM are undeniably Oakland to their core.

Oakland has made a habit of defining and defying genre tropes since before the term “extreme music” was part of the lexicon. DEADFORM is no exception to that experience. Three established adepts of the city’s idiosyncratic musical history have used their combined, multi-decade immersion to create a sonic fusion of punk and metal that is uniquely distinctive while also being simultaneously familiar. The ashes of their former projects have merged with the toxic waters of the Bay to synthesize DEADFORM. For fans of the members previous work, UK crust specifically Amebix and even Killing Joke. It’s truly an amalgamation of everything you know, but not at all what you’re expecting.

Stream DEADFORM’s first single, “Of Plagues,” at THIS LOCATION.

Entrenched In Hell features the disquieting cover art of Judd Hawk and will be released on CD featuring the band’s 2022 demo as five bonus tracks, limited LP in two color variants (Red/Black Merge w/ Bone And Red Splatter + Blue w/ Black Splatter), and digital formats as well as cassette from Brainsand Records, available through Tankcrimes.
