Listen to the track "Foulstrand" via The Obelisk @ https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2021/07/ ... -premiere/

HIGH STRANGE "Woe Upon Man" LP / cassette
Members:
Jonathan Canady (Deathpile, Dead World)
Jay Newman (Unearthly Trance, Serpentine Path, Abandoner)
Conor Hickey (Brain Slug, Born Sinner)
Joe Branciforte (Carnivore A.D., All Out War)

Lyrically based on August Strindberg's "A Dream Play" HIGH STRANGE infuses their dark heaviness with a surrealistic edge. "Woe Upon Man" is a depraved cacophony of metal and noise primitivism, injecting blasts of fetid doom with mangled thrash. Massive slabs of rotted noise and low-end rumble into a seething mass of claustrophobic horror, creating a diverse and mind-blowing avant-heaviness.

Limited to 200 copies on black vinyl and 50 cassettes.

FFO: Bolt Thrower, Prurient, Full of Hell

This post could have used a more human touch, but I liked this a lot. Is Jonathan still a FM? (EDIT: just checked, he is).

Hey PRFers. My day job has been crushing my balls lately, but I’m still here!

Yeah, I’d appreciate you folks checking out the new album. The full thing is streaming now and LP / Tapes are shipping within four days.



Thanks for noticing Bernardo!

Yeah I’ve been a huge BT fan since just before the first album came out. Those first three records + Peel Sessions are a big deal in my world.

To be able to do vocals for something that touches on that vibe was pretty special. Jay Newman masterminded this thing and got me involved. He’s a talented dude and a good friend. I appreciate that he, Conor, and Joe wrote this music and put up with me.

Thank you Krev and Seby.
