Whenever the world thinks Dopethrone has finally disappeared, be sure that Canada’s filthiest heavy trio is rustling up something evil in the dark corners of their twisted minds… The beast has awakened and it’s now ready to deliver their first studio album in six years: »Broke Sabbath« on Totem Cat Records. A devastatingly evil slab of metal filth and schizophrenic aggression, »Broke Sabbath« provides maximum levels of grim and fuzz through seven highly noxious tracks recorded by the Montreal trio’s long-time collaborator Jean-Baptiste Joubeaud and coated with copious amounts of asphyxiating sonic density thanks to mastering from Brad Boatright. If you believe the world’s end is impending, just push play to make it a fun ride!

»Broke Sabbath« is released in the spring of 2024 on various vinyl editions, CD and digital through independent label Totem Cat Records.

Dopethrone is a three-piece band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Active since 2008, this DIY gang encompasses the bleakness of black metal, the steadfastness of New Orleans-style sludge, and a heavier-than-thou doom mentality. The riffs are thick, punishing, suffocating and destructive, with lyrics based on self-destruction, murder, cannabis and sleazy drug abuse. The band refers to their music as “Slutch”, the Canadian term for cold sludge or dirty mud snow. They once described it as “frozen sludge, snow covered in crackhead diarrhea, blood, tears and broken dreams”.

After their second release »Dark Foil« (2011), Dopethrone started drawing some attention and were invited by Voivoid to play Roadburn Festival in 2012. They since haven’t stopped growing their audience in Europe, their adoptive land. Since their formation, Dopethrone has released five studio albums as well as some collaborations with other artists, and have regularly toured Europe and Canada. After a series of tours in 2019, Dopethrone has retreated to focus on the “delicate” baking of their sixth studio release. This new album entitled »Broke Sabbath« will be released in the spring of 2024 through French independent label Totem Cat Records, followed by shows in North America and Europe.
