Pariah, a four-piece force hailing from the gritty Northeast of England. Forged through years of playing in various projects across the UK and Europe. They’ve taken a little bit from each of those experiences and channelled it into something uniquely theirs. Poised to release their 5 track EP »Violence Is A Curse« accompanied by a music video for their single »Parasite’s Refrain«, which can be viewed below.

Pariah’s sound is a raw, unapologetic blend of metallic hardcore and sludge, combined with a noise set up assaulting the senses, they’re branded as “Pure Negative Volume” by VOS, with deafening and oppressive sensory overload. Thick like tar, the guitars occupy and smother any breathing space that once existed.

So, if you’re into heavy, sludgy riffs and an atmosphere that feels both chaotic, yet measured, Pariah is your go-to. Dive into their world, where every track is a testament to their roots and a celebration of the wild, suffocating energy that drives them.

The record will be available on Digital from 28/02/25 and on LP May 30th. The LP will come with an exclusive Noise track on the B-Side.
