The wait is over for fans of Quebec City brutal slam band Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OxE), as the band are set to unleash their fourth record The Fallen Lament digitally on July 19 and CD on August 9 via Stillbirth Records / Gore House Productions (SBR is a GHP sublabel).
“This record marks our longest gap between releases, which isn’t something we had in mind, but great art can’t be rushed out the door, and while it may have taken some time to materialize, I’m certain that this record will be everything fans have wanted and then some because it certainly was for us,” the band say about the album “Each album is a learning process, and I feel as though these new tracks we’ve got, more than anything else we’ve made, have taught us invaluable lessons about who we are as people and just how much we love music and the creative process.”
The Fallen Lament features artwork by The Popuko, whose personal illustration perfectly encapsulates the EP’s cosmic horror theme. Get a head start on spinning it now, and until it officially drops, stay brutal.
