NORTH: Arizona Sludge Metallers Metanoia Live Takeover Underway

Tucson, Arizona sludge trio, NORTH, kicked off their August live takeover on their home turf at Club Congress last night. From there the band will head north, marching through twenty-two cities including a stop at the second edition of Denver Black Sky alongside the likes Cannabis Corpse, Cattleist, Early Graves, Municipal Waste, Nails, Phobia and so many more.

Last nights show marks the official vinyl unveiling of NORTH’s newest EP entitled Metanoia, which was released independently earlier this year. Crowned “challenging and unsettling, but ultimately thrilling,” by Tuscan Weekly, Metanoia was recorded and mixed by Dana Fehr Wavelab Studios in Tucson with additional engineering by Chris Shultz, mastered by James Plotkin (OLD, Scorn, Khanate, Khlyst) and boasts four tracks of thick, sprawling riff cascades, graveled vocal swells, epic climaxes and ethereal atmospheres.

The tour also supports the long-awaited wax treatment of NORTH’s critically-adored debut full-length, What You Were which features new artwork by guitarist Matt Mutterperl and comes in a limited pressing of 250: 100 on white wax and 150 on black as well as the split cassette tape of their first two instrumental EPs, Siberia and Ruins. All releases are available at the official NORTH Bandcamp page.
