GODHUNTER Recording Debut LP To See Early 2014 Release

Tucson sludge deviants GODHUNTER have been destroying Arcane Digital Studios (Exhumed, Misery Index) with Ryan Butler (Landmine Marathon, Unruh), the sessions being used to construct the band's official full-length LP, City Of Dust. A concept album about life and death in a decaying desert shithole of a hometown, little else has been released on the album other than it shall prove to be another bulldozing supply of booze and bong-friendly hardcore-infused sludge pulverization.

City Of Dust will soon be completed and the remaining parts constructed over the coming months for disbursement on CD, LP and digital in March of 2014. Though GODHUNTER stands by a stern "labels can suck it" philosophy, a direct alliance with The Earsplit Compound has been forged for the albums' release, which will also be preceded by a limited 7" from the band this Fall. Further details on this mission will be released in the coming weeks.

Hazy previews of the album coming together and other GODHUNTER visual debauchery can be scoped below.

GODHUNTER continues to book sporadic shows, the henchmen confirmed to hit share the stage with Truckfighters, Orange Goblin, Holy Grail, Clutch, The Sword and more over the coming months. The pending roster of shows also includes a throwdown with Kylesa, Demon Lung and nearly sixty other bands at the four day long 2nd annual Southwest Terror Fest in Tucson this October, once again fully curated by GODHUNTER themselves.

GODHUNTER Films Video And Confirms Winter 2013 Tour Assault Band Unleashes New Split Vinyl Release

Tucson sludgetroopers GODHUNTER recently wrapped-up filming a self-financed video for their crushing anthem “Wolves Of The North.”

After making its initial appearance on the band’s 2011-released Wolves EP, more recently “Wolves Of The North” reared its ugly head on GODHUNTER’s self-released split 7” with hometown cohorts Inoculara. The split was pressed on off-white wax, with cover artwork by Matt "Zip" Howard, and interior art by Hoss, limited to only three-hundred hand-numbered copies. The video is currently going through final edits in preparation for its release in January.

The “Wolves Of The North” video will be released just in time for GODHUNTER’s newly-confirmed 2013 Winter Tour, sponsored by Acid Reflux Records and Earsplit. Broken into multiple treks between mid-January and mid-March, the quartet will thunder through the Southwestern states and then head back down towards the Gulf Coast, on their way to raid SXSW 2013 for several dates before trekking back to Arizona. Further confirmations will be announced as the dates are finalized in the coming weeks.

GODHUNTER: Tormented Tucson Quintet On The Warpath In 2012 - "WOLVES" streams Entirely

Like an encompassing dust storm full of fire and broken whiskey bottles and expended weed smoke, Tucson, Arizona's GODHUNTER are preparing to suffocate the planet with their devastating hymns this year.

Through diehard D.I.Y. ethics and self-promotion, GODHUNTER have preyed upon the weak-minded scenesters and have defied pigeonholing genre classifications through a savage amalgamation of sheer heaviness, both live and through recorded proof via several EPs, split releases and compilation inclusions since their 2009 formation. All five members of the band are heavily involved in the local scene and hail from other previous and current acts across the region, yet bring their most ferocious dynamics to life in GODHUNTER; the result is a sludge-bred sub-hardcore blend of caustic riffery laced with multiple scathing vocal approaches.

GODHUNTER's latest output, the 2011-released Wolves, showcases the band's most crushing material to date, and while considered by the band to be an EP, the beast clocks in with over 32-minutes of material.

Stream Wolves in its entirety now at GODHUNTER's Bandcamp page.

With local and regional touring a constant part of the GODHUNTER mission of intent, the band have supported national acts including St. Vitus, Crowbar, The Sword, Red Fang, Early Graves, The Atlas Moth, Intronaut and Black Tusk in addition to countless indie acts. 2012 will bring much more touring to the table for the band as new live assaults are announced over the coming months. The band will also record/release several other indie releases over the coming months before investing time into a brand new full-length late in the year.

Stay tuned; the coming months will be filled with news of GODHUNTER's ongoing rapture...
