Stream “Volume II” in full via the YouTube player below:
“After relentlessly beating the anvil we are proud to reveal our second full length record exclusively on double 12” vinyl, Bandcamp and all streaming services! Eight songs depicting the quintessence of The Old Ones, this album features six crushing soundscapes of oblivion and two never before heard acoustic tracks, a unique experience in the history of these three janitors… Special thanks to Jesse Vannoy at Iconoclast Home Studio and Icaruvs for helping us craft this monolith of a record, this is our best work yet and we couldn’t of done it without the both of you!
Born out of the mud, the blood and the beer of Yellowstone Valley since 2014, three janitors have been committing blasphemy by conjuring The Old Ones. They resurrect the Old Gods via ritual of feedback and vibrations out of their monolithic amps, telling stories of their diabolical campaign. The ravenous thundering and hypnotic rhythms are secured by Benjamin Meyer with the ginger beast Steve Nicol riding atop the storm with sonorous and powerful bass lines. A wild haired Trevor Stoltenberg straps his instrument of war around his shoulders and prepares for a sonic sojourn into the unknown where perhaps they may conjure what the Ancient Gods hail as The Old Ones…” – Trevor Stoltenberg
