Slovenian hardcore veterans Iamdisease present their new single “Krater”, announcing the release of a new album in December, which will also mark the end of the band’s journey.
On “Krater”, hardcore, sludge and black metal dig into the dissonance and weight of noise rock. The inspiration likely came from bands such as Ken Mode and Cell Press, as well as the ice-cold rehearsal place beneath Čaven mountain. Iamdisease melt all these elements together in a dark and uncompromising sonic assault.
“A crater is both visible and tangible, yet at the same time an unknown, menacing black hole that draws everything into itself.”
Iamdisease are seasoned veterans of the local underground, having been part of the Slovenian DIY hardcore scene since the 1990s with the bands such as Low Punch, Man in the Shadow, The Hoax Program, Kennyball Smith and Lintver. On their albums Iamdisease (2012) and Praznina (2014), they established their signature dark and hard-hitting hardcore sound, infused with strong sludge and metal influences, making references to bands such as Converge, His Hero Is Gone, Catharsis, Cursed and Coalesce hardly surprising.
Having already stepped away from live performances, Iamdisease are releasing ‘Krater’ as their final scream and goodbye to their audience.
