~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

Greek stoner-doom tribe SADHUS, THE SMOKING COMMUNITY are back and more raucous than ever with a third LP on the way by mid-month.

Hailing from the sunny port city of Piraeus in the greater Athens area, 'Illegal Sludge' (2023) is the band's first LP since 2018's Big Fish, and it is indeed a riot. Damning doom metal riffs, punchy percussion, and whiskey-soaked roars will really get your blood pumping.

Today, we get a listen to the album's first single and music video, "Woodman," an up-tempo punk-sludge number set to the backdrop of a barbeque that becomes an outlet for a lot of pent up aggression. Note that it is the shortest song on the new record, with most tracks averaging five-minutes in length, so there's plenty here to get you doomed and stoned.

Check out Illegal Sludge by Sadhus, The Smoking Community -- releasing November 17th on black, blue, and white vinyl via Ouga Booga & the Mighty Oug Recordings (pre-order here). Stick it on a playlist with Eyehategod, Demon Head, C.X. and Bongzilla.

Give ear...
