"Jon Rhodes vocals take cues from Cancer Bats' Liam Cormier and Obituary's John Tardy. Colossal in its destructive prowess... these seven slabs of sludge are gut-rumbling heavy and packed to the rafters with riffs". – 8/10 - Metal Hammer

"Swamp Coffin could and should be the ones to take UK sludge to the crowd killers and beatdowners of the U.S. This album has crossover hit written all over it." - 9/10 - Ave Noctum

"Swamp Coffin have stepped up in every department here and delivered a record of the year contender. This is the sound of a band digging deeper than ever, a band reaching an even more confident level, and having developed as artists to the point where their creativity can be fully realised." - Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

"Swamp Coffin style themselves upon the fusion of sludge and doom metal to create something truly epic in scope, and monstrous in its impact." - The Razor's Edge

"It is some of the blackest sludge you will come across this year... each song building on the insane levels of heaviness dropped in the track before..." - 4/5 - Metal Epidemic

"Holding true to themselves, their sound and embracing elements that serve their purpose, Swamp Coffin have utterly excelled with Drowning Glory." - 10/10 - Distorted Sound Magazine

TORSO's Brain Cells album was released on Friday, and has rapidly become one of our best sellers of 2024. Only a handful of tees and 3 tapes left.

"Brain Cells is a frantic mix of thrashy riffs, sludgy hooks and double kick madness, with a bunch of old school horror samples thrown in. It sounds like it was recorded in a cave and it just fucking rips" is Birthday Cake For Breakfast's verdict; whilst Musipedia Of Metal calls it "a bubbling blend of KISS schlock worship, hardcore thrash and even dirgy grunge... a short stab of gruesomeness, oppressive and ferocious".

If you've yet to dive in: get it in your ears.

Brain Cells is an album that embodies the true spirit of DIY, with brooding rhythms, throbbing BIG MUFF tones, and ferocious riff-wielding energy. We think you're gonna dig it. 

As at time of writing the tapes and t-shirts have almost all gone. If you want one, head to our shop here on the APF website and order fast.

New TORSO riffs to make your Bank Holiday Monday brighter.

Deep Space Death Trap is out today on Bandcamp, YouTube and all good streaming places. Check it out here:

https://hereliestorso.bandcamp.com/track/deep-space-death-trap

“DEEP SPACE DEATH TRAP is a frenetic, lo-fi, chest-bursting space rock riff orgy” Says TORSO main man Graham, Bywater. “Lyrically its inspired by such star spangled classics as Event Horizon, Alien and Fire in The Sky, with one foot firmly slammed on a blood drenched big muff and the other drowning in the viscera of eighties VHS terror.”

Deep Space Death Trap is taken from TORSO's sophomore album Brain Cells, which lands 13th Sept.

Hope you dig it!
