Slovenian hardcore/sludge veterans Iamdisease unleash new single »Krater« ahead of final album!
Slovenian hardcore veterans Iamdisease have released their new single, »Krater«, serving as the first preview of their upcoming album set to drop this December. The forthcoming release will also mark the conclusion of the band’s active career.
Listen to »Krater« on all major streaming platforms!
On »Krater«, elements of hardcore, sludge, and black metal collide with the dissonance and crushing weight of noise rock. Drawing inspiration from acts like Ken Mode and Cell Press – as well as the freezing temperatures of their rehearsal space beneath Mount Čaven – Iamdisease channel these influences into the dark, uncompromising sonic assault their listeners have come to expect.
“On one hand, a crater is visible and tangible; on the other, it is an unknown, looming black hole that pulls everything inward,” the band states regarding the track.
Iamdisease are seasoned veterans of the Slovenian underground noise and hardcore scene. Active since the 1990s in the Nova Gorica-Ajdovščina DIY hardcore community, the members honed their craft in pivotal regional bands such as Low Punch, Man In The Shadow, The Hoax Program, Kennyball Smith, and Lintvern.
With their previous releases, »Iamdisease« (2012) and »Praznina« (2014), the group established a signature gloomy, hard-hitting hardcore sound infused with heavy sludge and metallic undertones, drawing frequent comparisons to Converge, His Hero Is Gone, Catharsis, Cursed, and Coalesce.
Having already stepped away from live performances, the December release of the album »Krater« will stand as Iamdisease’s final scream and farewell to their audience.
