Good morning one and all! It’s Monday, the start of the week. And where last week was all about that Hermano, Solace and Troy Torino gig. What a night! Loved every minute of the Solace set and Hermano was tight and grooving and kicking ass! Man they rock! This is about Sonic Whip Festival, starting on Friday. An amazing festival, and two days filled with a stunning line-up! Can’t wait… Before we leave on Thursday, we do hope to get some HiVe work done! And predict at least one or two posts… Grin!

Just like we managed to put something up last week. A few words on the stunning Black Lung record and amazing Tusoc album. Madman Tony Maim graced us with his thoughts on American Sharks and we then did two premieres on one day! One for the kick ass single Foamdrinker from We Follow The Earth and the brilliant Mörkekraft album Fragments. Two sides of the heavy underground coin that both deserve your attention! And last but not least, because of inquiry or two, we put up a Buy Me A Coffee page. It’s a bit weird to put something like that up. But hey, why not right? It's all up in the air and we thank you for checking out the HiVe and reading our words either way... And more importantly, we talked with the main dude behind Phantom Logic, an interview that will go live on the HiVe as soon as we return from our off grid holiday in a few weeks. We are unfortunately too busy with work beforehand. Thanks for stopping by, checking out the HiVe and listening to all that’s good and heavy! Check out the list above, they all rock! 

Single Premiere – We Follow The Earth – Foamdrinker

 

Single Premiere 

We Follow The Earth – Foamdrinker

The opening track, the title track and the final single! We're honored to PREMIERE for you the final single Foamdrinker before the full album by We Follow The Earth arrives on May 12. The Winston Salem, North Carolina four are experts in creating an intense atmosphere while combining sludge metal and doom... And Foamdrinker is another prime example of that proficiency! 

The album talks of a world locked in perpetual winter, where survival demands sacrifice. The atmospheric sludge sound swells like those frozen seas shifting and breaking, ice cold expanses that boom as its weight explodes through riffs. Beneath the ice, both oceanic and internal horrors rise, as selflessness and survival collide in crushing, cinematic tension. Foamdrinker's slow burning riffs start off but you can immediately feel the surging crescendo and the distant percussion nears and the burst of fury that awaits. Heavy, intense and entirely cinematic, We Follow The Earth's sound has meditative qualities, but is often volatile and shifting with restless momentum... Like a storm gathering over all that ice cold water... 

Press play on We Follow The Earth's Foamdrinker right now and be ready for the entire album dropping on May 12th! All done independently, but Nespithe Records is handling the CD's!

 PR Wire:

We Follow The Earth is a sludgy doom band that will occasionally lean into a post metal sound. Located in Winston Salem, North Carolina, the core of their sound is built on slow, crushing riffs, ever present soul shaking bass, and aggressive, strained screams. Started as a solo project for Matthew Crotts, with his brother, Robert Crotts, offering to write the concept story and lyrics for the debut album “Lightbearer” in 2023. Shortly after releasing the debut album, writing started for the 2nd concept album “Extinct”, which was recorded/engineered by Jamie King and released in March 2024. This new album,“Foamdrinker”, takes the listener on a journey through a world that is, for unknown reasons, stuck in a perpetual winter. Facing extinction, our characters are willing to go to any lengths to survive, but dangers beyond the ice lurk in the depths of the ocean and within ourselves. The struggle to overcome these challenges that we are presented with, both the external and the internal superstitions about how we think the world should work from the crux of this story. How we balance selfless acts against selfish ones can save or doom the world.

Good morning! After a week filled with three interviews, preparing for those and of course a new edition of the Doom Charts, this one will be marked off by a show in Utrecht by the one and only Hermano! Can’t wait to see the Hermano heroes once again! And with Solace and Troy Torino as pre-show this is one hell of a night! Might be going to bed early, just so Friday arrives early… 

And on the HiVe we managed to post something about the new Iron Jinn single, re-posted those words on Corrosion of Conformity and Phantom Logic. And started with that wild Single Premiere for the new Maliciouz! Have you been healed yet by the glacial doom of Catharticism? Check it out! Check’m all out!
