One side features the 21-minute sludge behemoth Mudslinger, while the other showcases stunning artwork by Throne, laser-etched directly onto the vinyl. We wanted to make this release special, and we believe we’ve done just that.

“Like being suckerpunched by a tidal wave! New single DIY Exorcism rages against abusers while sounding like the end of the world cranked to 10, the song brings to mind the maximalist terror of Lingua Ignota with some of the quirky energy of Julie Christmas, with add operatic elements that make it feel truly distinct” – Metal Hammer UK
