Druglord – Hear It Breathe

 

Druglord – Hear It Breathe
Self-released - 2026
Doom, Stoner, Metal
Rated: ****

Druglord might have been around for ages... Centuries perhaps. In different shapes and forms… And this incarnation went dark for eight years since releasing New Day Dying in 2018. But now, from the mire rises… A heavier, hungrier form. Druglord is back. Shedding none of their grime, sharpening the edges, forging a release of six songs where suffocating sludge collides with galloping metal, hardcore fury and doom. Doom, but often fast moving, fuzz drenched riffs. Changing between relentless charge and oppressive crawl. It’s the contrast that keeps on dragging you along, just like those ragged snarls and solemn harmonies. Hear It Breathe feels like a storm gathering over a scorched earth, crushing all beneath them before disappearing into a final shimmering haze of noise…
