DEADFORM "Entrenched In Hell" [12" LP, Black Vinyl]
2024 - Sludge/Crust Punk from United States
Detailed Description
DEADFORM's debut album emerges as a critical fusion of punk and metal that comprises and compliments the previous projects of its three members; LAUDANUM, STORMCROW and DYSTOPIA...to name a few. Entrenched In Hell follows up their 2022 self-titled demo with emerging themes of war, cults, famine and mortality that evoke a more personal attachment to the subject matter. This album is many things and a convergence of seemingly incompatible genres but has become greater than the sum of those 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? Is it Hardcore? Though difficult to neatly categorize, DEADFORM are undeniably Oakland to their core.
