Opium Lord make desolate doom-sludge with a coal black heart. Filthy grooves meet abrasive noise to convey a menacing
atmosphere akin to Birmingham’s dodgiest drinking establishments.
Born out of the ashes of History of the Hawk (In At The Deep End Records) and Stinky Wizzleteat (Bad Egg Records) along with
post metal band Mothertrucker. Opium Lord have only been a proper band since early December 2012, in that time they got
signed to seminal British label Thirty Days Of Night Records, recorded their debut EP, caught the eye of experimental pioneers
Capsule offering the band a slot with Boris and radio play on the BBC Radio 1 Daniel P Carter Rock Show.
Influenced by acts such as Burning Witch, Scott Walker, Sleep, Swans and Floor, the band set out to carve their own style and
stamp their personal sound. Mixing brutal heaviness, grinding vocals with abrasive reverbed guitars to deliver a unique take on
doom metal.
“The Calendrical Cycle - Prologue: The Healer” is the band’s debut CDEP which orignally came out 11th March and sold out before it was
even released, it received extremely positive feedback from the press and propelled them to one of the hottest properties in the
genre. The EP is the first instalment of a three part series that will span a further two full length records.
Co-released with Speedowax Records, this 7" is a limited pressing of 100 copies on black vinyl, that comes in a handcut 300gsm recycled card sleeve, with design and layout created by Nathan James Coyle, and photography by Richard P J Lambert

From Nothing Comes Everything
by TORPORsupported by 6 fans who also own “The Calendrical Cycle - Prologue: The Healer 7"”
I really like this band, they got such a sludgetastic coolness about them. TORPOR swagger in between sludge, metal, doom and post metal with ease as if they've been writing this fantastic noise forever. Found another fave band of mine.

I came accross Black Curse, and their first demo, on Greg Biehl / No Gleaming Light YT channel in late 2019 and a bit later, in 2020, as it was covid, a whole lot of time was spent at home listening to music. In April 2020, I took a slap in my face. The songs that were already on the demo, with the new production here were so insane, it dragged me to hell. Black Curse is definitely one of the most violent band I listened in the last years. Next-level Black-Death metal for sure !

This band's been one of my favorite acts in modern death metal for a while now, and their debut album got me sold on these guys really quick.
