Bristol, UK based sludge/doom metal outfit Gnasch premiere new music video for the track »Decline« featuring guest vocals by Charlie Fell (Lord Mantis) and Richard Annerhall (Repuked).

»Decline« is taken from Gnasch’s debut album, »The Legend Of Johnny Gnasch«, released on November 15th, 2025.

»The Legend Of Johnny Gnasch« is a booze-soaked saga carved in scum. Gnasch recount the rise, fall, and eternal stagger of Johnny Gnasch, an alcoholic zombie doomed to drink the grave dry. A crawl of undead blues, a legend that refuses to sober up, and a soundtrack for the last call that never ends.

Gnasch is a sludge/doom metal band from Bristol, UK. Formed in 2021 by guitarist Will (Row Of Ashes, ex-Sonance) and vocalist Russ (Vyral, ex-Warrior Pope) over a shared appreciation of Iron Monkey. Drummer Sam (Woodland Creatures) was enlisted by the third rehearsal. With eagerness to keep the music primitive and underdeveloped, Gnasch entered the studio after 5 jams to create debut EP »Spite At The End Of The Tunnel« in July 2022.

The band self-released 3 EPs so far, 2 of which were included in Cvlt Nation’s top 10 sludge albums in ’22 and ’24. The records featured guest performances from musicians from bands such as Entombed, Grave, Runemagick, Sacramentum and General Surgery.
