about

Liverpool collective Bonnacons of Doom return with their first new music since 2018’s critically acclaimed S/T debut album.

Whether congregating in dimly lit halls or in forests, mysterious forces are channelled by the shifting collective known as Bonnacons of Doom, intent on psychic communion by any means necessary. The bands arcane conjury operates stubbornly free of genre, sashaying alongside psych-rock, repetitive drone and electronic experimentation whilst consumed by a devotional intensity that’s multiplied by the transcendental echoing of vocalist Kate Smith.

This new four track EP features a brand new composition called Esus and three incredible remixes of songs taken from their S/T debut album. First track Esus starts with an ominous fuzz riff that draws the listener deep into the world of Bonnacons of Doom. Kate’s pagan’esque, repetitive vocal collides head on with the cacophony of doomed guitars and synths.

JD Twitch – one half of the legendary Scottish DJ / label owners and NTS resident team Optimo has turned album opener Solus into a sub-bass heavy, psychedelic, caveman stomp of the highest order. Dance floors with crumble under its pure weight of this repetitive monster. Track three sees ‘Australia via Brooklyn’s’ kings of avant-punk-electronica Liars take Bonnacons’ track Industria and deconstruct it into looping drones of noise, feedback and subtle melodies.

Finally, sonic explorers Capac take the track Solus and strip it back
to an otherworldly, minimalist soundscape of fuzz, voice and stripped back percussion.

giro days pummelling 12 minutes monster grinder is a gem a perfect soundtrack to the time honoured tradition of going completely bonkers for one day a fortnight. that refrain of sex death sex death is tied to the title for me..the little death.sex ...and life ..measured in giros.or.lives ,measured in bi weekly trips to the hole in the wall at midnight .....a triumph of a record... probably as good as just say no..but I'm a sucker for a pair of drummers.GNOD ON christopherogley

Never get tired of watching GNOD live. a ferocious blend of feedback, astonishing riffing, bleeding guitars and feedback so aggressive you have to take a step back. This great album is slightly more experimental though! jonezyboy

There must be something magnetic that inexorably draws me into this thick chunk of noise, sweat, riffs, distortion, mud, repetitions, screams, psychedelia, and dirt. Something magnetic. And I have always been attracted to magnetism. muschiosauro
