Homegrown hardcore veterans Iamdisease are unveiling their new single ‘Krater’, which heralds a new album due out in December, the record with which the band will bring their run to a close.
The single is available on digital platforms.
On ‘Krater’, hardcore, sludge and black metal sink their teeth into the out-of-tune dissonance and heft of noise rock. The inspiration probably came from bands like Ken Mode and Cell Press, plus an ice-cold rehearsal space at the foot of Čaven. Iamdisease fuse all of the above into the kind of dark, uncompromising sonic punch their listeners have always known them for.
“On the one hand, the crater is visible and tangible; on the other, it’s an unknown, menacing black hole that sucks everything in.”
Iamdisease are seasoned old hands of the local noise scene: since the ’90s they’ve been helping shape the Goriška–Ajdovščina DIY hardcore scene, where they cut their teeth in bands such as Low Punch, Man in the Shadow, The Hoax Program, Kennyball Smith and Lintvern. On their albums ‘Iamdisease’ (2012) and ‘Praznina’ (2014), Iamdisease showcased their signature gloomy, hard-hitting hardcore sound with strong sludge and metal influences, so it’s no surprise they get compared to bands like Converge, His Hero Is Gone, Catharsis, Cursed and Coalesce.
Iamdisease have already stopped playing live, so the release of ‘Krater’ will also be their final scream and farewell to their audience.
