Sydney sludge act Burial Pit release their terrifying debut album “Subhuman Scum”

May 21

Sydney sludge act Burial Pit release their terrifying debut album, "Subhuman Scum". This onslaught of slow, brutalising, crushing riffs, blended with vocal lines laced with venom and death metal grooves, all come together in a spectacular display of songwriting, hatred and well-focused aggression. The recurring theme of Burial Pit's "Subhuman Scum" is the violent retribution for the atrocities of man and a vehement hatred towards abusers of power and people. Burial Pit don't hold back for one iota as they definitively take aim at the worst people on the planet; rapists, abusers, paedophile priests, the absolute scum of the earth to be meeting their violent demise. This release is insanely heavy, heavy with intent, heavy with hatred and intense lyrical content, heavy in every sense of the word.

Jack Thomas (guitarist/ songwriter):

"The inspiration originally came from reading a "Most brutal extreme metal lyrics" list and realising that the songs were almost exclusively about men violently abusing women. So, I thought fuck that, I'll write songs about the victims claiming their retribution over the men who are perpetrating the violence toward them. This theme can be found in all the songs on our new record, where we explore in-depth the retaliation that would take place when the victims seek violent vengeance from their perpetrator."

Fully self-produced, engineered and mixed by the bands' drummer (Adrian Griffin), Burial Pits debut album "Subhuman Scum" is a dark & menacing masterpiece from start to finish. It's an incredibly well thought out and executed volume of music that takes its time and places every hit, every riff and every scream directly into the right place. It draws you in and makes you not only pay attention to the sounds but the intent behind them and the weight that the words within them carry.
