Alluvial recently announced their new EP, “Death Is But a Door”, which will arrive on January 12 via Nuclear Blast. The band has shared the video for ‘Fogbelt’.
It’s a live performance video and it will make you feel like you are front and center, moshing at an Alluvial show. The video was shot and edited by Randy Edwards.
“‘Fogbelt’ is a song that came from a movie about human cloning,” the band says. “Kevin inspired that main riff that starts the song, and everything fell together pretty quickly after that. It’s big, dumb, and gross. It turned our toenails green and we hope it turns yours green, too.”
Darkness and despair are a breeding ground for creativity in the right hands. Since their inception in 2017, Atlanta-based band Alluvial have embraced the grim and gloom that the world has to offer through an intricately balanced blend of rapid-fire polyrhythms, haunting, sludgy atmospheres and tightly wound grooves. The band takes a stab at creating an even more sinister sound than their previous album, “Sarcoma”.
“We wrote about 13 or 14 songs this summer, but we wanted to do this EP between “Sarcoma” and our next full-length. These songs align with the vibe we want to go for. We will always find a way to be darker from record to record in the same way that “South of Heaven” was heavier than “Reign In Blood” and “Seasons In The Abyss” was heavier than “South Of Heaven”,” says Hauch. “It was that concept of chasing the dragon to find a way to top the message and vibe on the last record while finding a way to do it that made us excited.”
With the band’s members being as ingrained in the death metal scene as they are — with members previously playing in The Faceless, Suffocation and more — listeners can rest assured they’ll be met with plenty of brutality throughout their music. The twists and turns into clean passages, atmospheric ambience, or any of the other musical avenues explored throughout Alluvial‘s music take them over the edge and invite listeners to return and find something previously undiscovered.
