Friendship & The House Of Chains

Oi! First and foremost, today I need to address the fact that we have cancelled our appearance at Patchwork Festival next weekend, and we want to apologize to the festival promoters and anyone who was looking forward to our set. Hopefully we can make it up to y'all in the future. Some bummer shit has come up and is hobbling us a little bit.
In other news, our splits with Moloch and Crevasse are both available from Halo of Flies in the US, Feast of Tentacles in the UK and Contraszt in EU, and streaming still:
https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/stream-this-shit-hot-new-split-from-cloud-rat-and-crevasse
&
https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/cloud-rat-and-moloch-unite-in-grind-doom-and-friendship-on-a-new-split
Our split with Disrotted will be streaming at Invisible Oranges in a few days, along with pre-orders and all that. Phew! Thanks for sticking with us so far. Two more releases to go after those. LOL.
Love y'all. Take care, hope to see you soon.

Deadhouse Gates

Greetings from the Void beyond the event horizon. I do hope this finds you well, friends.
Since the last update, we played three One Fest gigs on the east coast and my 30th birthday weekend, all went super well with a lot of energy and good folks around. The most fucked, lit party after the bday gigs too, WOAH. Thanks  <3 br="">
We also finally finished recording/mixing/mastering for all five upcoming releases. (!!!)
It was a wild six/seven months. We worked incredibly hard to make what is (I think) our best material yet. Each release is quite different, while still maintaining our heart and sound somehow. There's a piano ballad, a gothy trip-hop number, an 18-minute doomy epic, four down-tuned sludge grinders, an Electric Deads cover, and a bunch of CR-flavored grindy/punky/metally/saddy tracks. 66 minutes of new material, fuckin hell. Too much. lol.

The release schedule has changed a bit. Split LP with Moloch will be released April 1st, streaming this weekend!
Then split 7" with Crevasse.
Then split LP with Disrotted.
Split LP with The World Is A Vampire should be in there somewhere, too.
Split 7" with Test should be due out in the Fall.

All except the Test split should be out in time for the summer Friendship Tour with Moloch, False and Thou, June 26 - July 22. Dates will be up very soon.

In the meantime, we are playing in Toledo 3/31 for our bff JC's birthday (engineer behind Qliphoth and all splits since then) and then Milwaukee 4/1 with bff's False, Pigs Blood and others. Will be good.

Be good to each other. Sorry I don't have more to say at the moment. Read Malazan: Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson, there is way more interesting/relevant stuff to read there. Cheers loves.
-WDRB

The Wailing

OI MATES.

Well, it's been another four months since I last updated this. Three months since we last practiced lol (that's about to change tonight). Whatever.
I hope that you, dear reader, have somehow had a fabulous 2016. I'm noticing the recent social media trend of hopefulness and what not for 2017, which is nice, albeit probably misguided. Who am I kidding though? I start counseling next week, hoping to better myself and get on a path to fixing my broken fucking brain, which in turn will help me become more productive (Fitter, Happier). I'm hoping to quit smoking again. So I guess the hope bug has me in its pincers a little bit too. Better than the alternative. I think?
2017 will see Cloud Rat releasing a shitload of material over five split records throughout the year, as well as touring a bit here and there, with one big one in the summer. We had to cancel our Australia/SE Asia and Europe plans due to financial and scheduling issues. Of course! I'm really not sure how to make crazy stuff like that happen anymore. We need to make a lot more money doing this in order for that kind of thing to work out. BIG HAHA THERE HUH? Nah, it'll all happen someday. Just slower and less frequent than I'd like. Anyways, here's what's on the books:

1/27: 1FEST NYC @ Silent Barn w/ ACxDC, Backslider, Die Choking, Escuela, Goolagoon, Grindmother, Chepang, Death Vacation, Sick Shit

4/1: TBA AWESOME MIDWEST GIG
6/26 - 7/23: HUGE TOUR TBA
Late October: FEST AND SMALL TOUR TBA.

That's about it for 2017, aside from hopefully a string of local MI gigs and some one-offs here and there. Keep ya eyes peeeeeled. I, personally, would like to do some more short weekends with friends but it's hard. All of our schedules and financial sitches are fucked. Not to mention our collective mental illnesses. UGH.

I think our release schedule is going to go something like:
split 7" w/ Crevasse - March
split LP w/ Moloch - April
split LP w/ The World Is A Vampire - May
split LP w/ Disrotted - June
split 7" w/ Test (tentative) - Fall.
Over an hour of new material that we are reeeeeeally stoked on. There are talks of maybe even doing a music video, after all these years. We'll see. LOTS OF SHIT HOLY FUCK TOO MUCH WORK.

Hails. Stay up.
Love, 
Whiskey Dad

Life. Grind. Death. Love. Decay. Liberation.

The Arcane Oath

OI!
Hope y'all have been well. Tour with Closet Burner last month was great, lots of staring into the void, and many misanthropic feelings were had. Thanks so much to all the promoters and friends and venues and bands and drugs for hanging out in the hot hot heat with us.
Currently bumming that I'm not in Olympia at Migration Fest with all the homies. Sending much love that way.
Next up: recording at Lakebottom and then tour with Wolves in the Throne Room and then more recording. Will post a real update soon with merch and all of our tour dates, including matinees and one-offs, for the rest of the year. Cheers friends.

P.S. Check out our pals in Disrotted, they got a fucking killer new record out. I picked up the LP recently and FUCK does it make you so sad. Get it. https://disrotted.bandcamp.com/album/divination

September Rust

Eternally Committed To The Void

So much to update and say, I don't really know where to start.
Tour with Ferals was so good, and a lot of fun. BFFs. Great shows, great times. Also brutally hot and no sleep fucking EVER. Thanks to all the lovely folks we got to see and hang out with and shit. TEST, WHAT A FUCKING BAND WOAH. Expect a split with them in the future. Seven-One Grind Fest was so killer, apologies to anyone who saw me all fucked up later on Friday night (Full of Hell dudes, Brandon, Thou folks, Bell Witch folks, Brandon Rat, uber driver, sorry y'all), yikes my bad. Milwaukee is officially home base number two. Annnnnd Drugs rule, mmkay?

I guess I'll get the bad news out of the way now... we have a number of cancellations and schedule changes. It really sucks to have to do this, and at this point I'm afraid we might have a bit of a stigma for such things, but it is what it is. :(
Summary: Appearances at Discontent Fest this weekend and at False 5 Year Anniversary gig August 27th both cancelled. West Coast and AustraliAsia tours both pushed back to 2017. For more info/reasons, read the next bit. If you don't care, skip ahead to the next-next chunk of words.
Our slot on Discontent Fest this weekend: cancelled due to one of our members having some serious health/wellbeing issues. I'm not going to divulge, but please, if you have a moment, send us some positive lovey vibes, they are much needed and sincerely appreciated. So yeah, so sorry to Tony, everyone else helping with the fest, sorry to Dakhma who we were going to share a vehicle with, all of  the bands and our friends who we were all so much looking forward to hanging and partying with. We will make it up to y'all any way we can. :(

We have to cancel our appearance with False for their five-year anniversary show in Minneapolis on August 27th. SUPER FUCKING BUMMED. This is due to a scheduling issue that unfortunately could not be resolved. We tried everything to make it work, but it's just a fucked weekend. Sorry to our lovers in False and to all of our Minneapolis pals, we want to be there so bad uggghhhh. We will also make this up to y'all anyway we can. :(
We are pushing our September West Coast tour back to 2017. This sounds bad, but is actually for a very good, positive reason. I can't announce the info yet, y'all will know in a couple weeks. West Coast tour will most CERTAINLY be happening next year, and it will be a stacked fuckin tour. And we will hit Minneapolis on that one as well, so all good there.
We are also pushing the New Zealand / Australia / SE Asia / Japan tour back to 2017 as well. This is due to a couple things: Skelptarsis broke up (RIP), and with the health and scheduling issues already plaguing us this year, we figured it would be best to give some time to breathe and save money and shit. It is definitely still happening as well though, and Europe will be around the corner from that again too. :)

In other, better news, our tour with Closet Burner is still happening and is all booked, very stoked. Here is the thingy for that, check it, share it, blah blah blah. Thanks Zach Maatman for the drawing and thank myself for the handwritten junk/flyer layout, thank Madison for the idea. We wanted to have something not so foreboding and grim for the tour poster this time around, the world has so much fucked up shit happening constantly, needed some light for a change.



We are still on track to record in August and October. There is an insane tour to be announced for September, and another couple really fucking amazing things in the works for next year. Merch store is pretty much depleted, so I gotta get on that, maybe it's time to have Josh Deadtank handle it. I'll get on that. Haven't even written him, just posting thoughts now. LOL.

Alright, I'm done ranting. Thanks everyone who has been supporting us via online merch, digital sales, coming to shows, etc etc. The help is just fucking amazing and much needed and appreciated. Keep each other close, be kind and loving and respectful and fuckin cool. Cheers.

Love, Whiskey Dad

Bordello of Blood

Typical. Again, taking way too long to update shit. Trying our best, but you know. Fuckin life. LOL.
We leave for tour with Ferals on Wednesday. Will be playing some shit that we've never played live before, as well as two BRAND NEW songs. We practiced at my partner and I's newly purchased home yesterday (woah. Dad life just hit hard), and it ruled. Very excited, feeling good about the current chemistry.
Bunch of represses coming soon, Self-Titled LP, Moksha LP, and Autarkeia split 7". All on color vinyl, something we haven't done much of.
Recording for all of our new records starts August 19th. Working on all of the material and some covers lately, and its going swimmingly.
July tour with Closet Burner is being booked currently, September West Coast is still in the planning stages, New Zealand/Australia/SE Asia/Japan tour is coming along a bit. Lots happening, can't keep up, as per usual.
We added a show in August, the FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of our dearest friends, FALSE. In Minneapolis, don't miss that one. So wild that it's already been that long since we became best pals with them and Thou. Speaking of those bands, 2017 might have something pretty fucking insane happening, involving them and a couple other close pals... Can't reveal anytime soon, but I promise. FUCKIN STOKED.

Alright, I gotta go. Probably forgetting stuff, sorry. Love y'all much, see you on the road.
Cheers.
