Dear friends, we’re so proud to share ‘Ode’ in full with you today. 🖤

‘Ode’ is both an audio and video experience - you can now stream ‘Ode’ on most services (not Spotify), on @subvertworld and @bandcamp or watch our full performance of the real, live recorded take used for the EP on YouTube (via the link in our bio).

Today is Bandcamp Friday - we’ve got digital downloads, vinyl, shirts and merch packs up for sale now, and purchasing today means we pay no share to Bandcamp - it’s a great day to support is directly if you wish!

We’ll see you this afternoon at @platogroningen at 16:00. Welcome to the world, ‘Ode’.

We’ve had a moment to rest after an amazing run of shows. And now we’d like to share some words of gratitude.

It is not lost on us how significant the positive reactions and support of our new project have been.

As we’ve become more experimental musically, and louder about our message, we see you leaning in to what we’re doing and saying, and we’re very, very thankful. We hope that we’ve successfully created a safe space to confront some subjects that may be uncomfortable, intense or unsettling to confront.

All of this pushes us further. We have more to say and more noise to make.

Please join us at @ekko.nl on October 23 or @thecaveamsterdam on October 30 where we will share more new material, and thanks as well for those of you who have been listening to Ode and sharing positive feedback!

For those that hoped to see us at Zwemfest, we’ll be planning another Groningen show soon.

October 30th (Halloween) we will be playing at @thecaveamsterdam with a very eclectic line-up with support from @zemma.official and @vrlcht_. Tickets will be sold at the door for €10 and you better show up early as it will be packed on this Halloween evening!

ZEMMA is experimental/heavy alternative with influences of blackgaze, darkfolk and experimental rock, moving betwen vulnerable and powerful songs.

VRLCHT brings an amalgamation of sludge, noise and experimental hardcore. You can expect sludgy grooves that culminate in chaos.

We hope to see you there! taken in Rock Club the Cave by @vrlcht_

A huge, huge thanks are due to the wonderful friends and fans that came out to support the 'Ode' release show at @platogroningen! It was lovely to see all of you, hang out a bit and celebrate our first release together.

The record is streaming (most) everywhere, with the live session video up for viewing on YouTube, and the digital and vinyl versions for sale on Bandcamp.

Also a big shout out to Plato for letting us turn the volume knobs way up, y'all are fucking incredible.

Next up is @demetra.metalfest coming up Sept. 11-13, tickets are still available!

We had a great time shaking the @zeevonkrecords container for @noorderzonnl!

A huge thanks to @tartarustapes for inviting us, to @ter_ziele and @swervenoise for providing both backline and friendship, to Zeevonk for the exceptional hospitality, and of course to all of you fine folks who came out to support us.

Our songs were silenced long ago.

A multimedia EP recorded and filmed live at @warehouse37studio; ‘Ode’ releases on vinyl, streaming, digital via @bandcamp and on YouTube on September 4th. ‘Ode’ will not be available on Spotify, ever.

Pre-orders are live on Bandcamp - as it’s Bandcamp Friday, if you’d like to support us directly, please head to our Bandcamp via the link in our bio and pre-order ‘Ode’ from us there.

We’ll see you at one of our live dates, and will share details on the release day show soon. Thank you!
