California sludge veterans -(16)- return with their heaviest and most devastating record to date! Into Dust will be released through Relapse Records on November 18th on CD, LP and digital formats. Into Dust is a collection of cautionary tales of survival and redemption set to an amalgamation of sludge, punk, metal, hardcore and stoner riffs that could only be built over thirty years of commitment to their dark sonic craft.
From the frantic opening of "Misfortune Teller" to the undeniable pounding and swagger of "Scrape The Rocks". Into Dust lives up to its name, as -(16)- beats the listener into submission through the lowest of ends and the sour, palpable malaise prevalent throughout the albums dozen tracks. Guitarist/vocalist Bobby Ferry comments, "For the past two years, we have been careening down the highway of life, stuck in the idle lane, heading towards oblivion. However, this detour endowed us with ample inspiration to continue screaming headlong into the abyss, grinding out Into Dust in the process".
