Sludge metal outfit HOGSLAYER are set to release their second album, 'Defacer', via cult label Undergroove Records on May 4th 2015.
The follow up to 2013's self titled release, 'Defacer' showcases 8 tracks of evocative misery, infused with throat-stripping vocals that churn over sludgey, low slung grooves and hulking riffs. HOGSLAYER's second album promises big and delivers bigger.
Formed in 2012, the year the world ended, HOGSLAYER rose from the ashes of Shaped By Fate and Zonderhoof, dragging with them their dank, squalid musical output.
Says HOGSLAYER bassist Grym av Skugga, "Defacer is the result of us heading in a heavier and darker direction. We've made the decision to incorporate two bassists rather than two guitarists and taken a stripped down approach to the writing process, leaving a bleak and abysmal dissonance in its place. It's our take on doom-ridden sludge and we're looking forward to people hearing it."
