Polish sludge/doom band 71TONMAN are creating their own vile expression and it’s fascinating. It’s great that we’re working with several sludge/doom bands and yet all of them have their own sound and identity. We’re glad to have this band on board too. One of the songs from their upcoming short but highly potent EP is streaming now on Bandcamp and YouTube. Thanks for your time! – Kunal C. (label owner)

As the name suggests, 71TonMan are purveyors of earth-shatteringly heavy music and their brand of doom/sludge metal furthermore is acerbic and crust-scraping. Bands in this style rarely have this scathing, face-melting sound and it’s strangely addictive, particularly the combination of huge, stomping riffs and absolutely vile vocals delivered in an almost grindcore manner. The contrast against the backdrop of collapsing buildings and the ensuing chaos and all-round mayhem is gratifying despite this being an EP, a precursor for something even greater to come. We revel in quality sludge and this pairs well with the mammoth release of the sludgelords Eremit, for that matter even Subterraen and Jupiterian the past, even though the expression of this one is unparalleled.
