VRLCHT: Ode

Groningen-based noise/sludge/experimental rock band VRLCHT ("verlicht" without the vowels in Dutch) rose from the embers of Slumbercloud, with three of its members honouring the power trio format. They have been working out on new material and their first release will be 5-part piece Ode, a wake up call for those who are still not aware that fascism is on the rise again.

They recorded it live, in one take. The second part is now available for streaming. The whole thing hits the shops on September 4 (vinyl, digital). The LP on marbled red and black vinyl has the exclusive track O.D.E. on the B-side.

VRLCHT:
Paddy Moran: guitar, vocals
Andrea Scifo: bass, synth, vocals
Pieter Schwartz: drums

Ode is available for preorder here.
