Local noise-laden doom/sludge six-piece Religious Observance has spent the last three years blending their love of heavily filthy riffs and death industrial clamour, and album number two is on the way. Preferring a mixture of intensity at their gigs, they've assembled a wide range of in-the-red purveyours to help birth their sophomore full length: frantic grind masters Pissbolt, blackened harsh noise wall genius Nekrasov, fresh from the grave doom/death four-piece Carcinoid, and distortion drenched psych/drone trio Dowser. This will likely be the last Religious Observance gig for the year, too, so get in early with the xmas (dis)merriment, and tell the work party to shove it.
