News : thedowngoing announce 12 track, 10 minutes release “ATHOUSANDYEARSOFDARKNESS”

By on June 20, 2012

Sydney grindcore 2-piece thedowngoing are set to release their newest aural atrocity ATHOUSANDYEARSOFDARKNESS. The 12 track, 10 minute noisegrind experiment will be released via “Cancerous” Slimline CD and be available for streaming/purchasing/pirating at thedowngoing.blogspot.com from Friday July 20th, 2012.

After the 2011 release of their Untitled EP mini-CD, thedowngoing have caught the attention of many in the grind community, including Agoraphobic Nosebleed vocalist J. Randall, who digitally re-released the EP on his own label Grindcore Karaoke. thedowngoing would go on to be awarded the title of best release of 2011 by grindtodeath.com and 7th by grindandpunishment.blogspot.com “…Untitled EP shows the band reaching new, dizzying artistic heights.”

ATHOUSANDYEARSOFDARKNESS builds on the platforms laid by 2011’s Untitled EP, refining and pushing thedowngoings’ unique sound further. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Jono Boulet (Jonathan Boulet, Snake Face) ATHOUSANDYEARSOFDARKNESS is a vicious listening experience as thedowngoing teeters on the edge between grindcore and complete audio collapse.

And what better soundtrack to the harsh winter conditions, than to have thedowngoing venture out from their nihilistic cave dwelling existence to provide godless grindcore to the frostbitten masses on their 2012 winter tour throughout July and August.
