Belgian Sludge/Doom collective Modder are now sharing their entire self-titled debut album, which is scheduled for release December 3, 2021 through Lay Bare Recordings and Consouling Sounds. Stream the album through the YouTube player below:
The band started out as a passion project between guitarist, songwriter and producer Mathlovsky and his longtime companion Gregory Simons on drums. In November 2020 they released their massive first single “Mudslinger,” which is an impressive 21 minute long riff-fest referencing artists like Sleep and Mastodon.
Following the release of “Mudslinger” bass player Maurice van der Es, guitarist Maxime Rouquart and synth wizard Simon Felix joined the duo to extend the sonic mayhem into a tight and pounding live band. Despite being completely new in the scene they have already managed to score a spot at this year’s edition of Desertfest Belgium.
Modder are determined to climb that long and hard ladder to get their name known outside their homeland and are now ready to release their self-titled debut album due out in early December via Lay Bare Recordings & Consouling Sounds. The record’s sonic palate consists of riffs that are designed to make your neck break, supported by thundering bass lines and grooving drums. Surrounded by industrial samples and synths they forge a unique sound in the sludge landscape that Modder finds themselves in.
