The ties between hardcore punk, metal, and doom have been very apparent throughout the years. It seems as though it is not surprising when you find that the same people that grew up on bands like Black Flag, T.S.O.L and Minor Threat could also tell you all about St. Vitus, Sleep, Melvins, Fu Manchu and countless others. The community is vast, and in a lot of cases the crossover is a biproduct of members cutting their teeth in the punk scene before transforming and shifting direction for the sake of keeping things evolving. Seattle, Washington’s DEHISCENT is no exception to the rule.
Blending the best elements of hardcore, metal and doom to present a heady and brooding experience, Dehiscent features ex-members of some prominent Seattle-area bands. Influences across the spectrum, Dehiscent melds the straightforward thoughtful grooved-out heaviness of Sabbath, Cathedral and the Melvins with the depraved and scowled elements of bands like Eyehategod and the old Pessimiser Records bands like Crom and 16, and Grief. A listening experience that truly leaves its sonic mark among the heavy music community. We here at Blackhouse are proud to introduce Dehiscent into the fold, with their inaugural release coming this Summer. Keep an eye out for more news soon, including preorder dates, US tour dates, and more!
