Originally formed in London, DUNGEON began their
speed-thrash D-beat conquest with an aptly titled demo,
Unholy Speed Attack, in 2015. A year later came the
English Hell demo, released by the respected Me Saco Un
Ojo Records. DUNGEON teamed up with Me Saco Un Ojo again
for the release Purifying Fire mini-album in 2018,
hitting a fever pitch in intensity and personality.
Now, a long five years after that last record, the
hellions of DUNGEON return with another mini-album, and
their most defining statement of metalpunk aggression:
Into the Ruins. This EP was recorded live over a sordid
weekend in a damp Berlin bunker by engineer Max
Hillebrand (Vasseur, Children) in September 2022.
Featuring five filthy tracks across 22 minutes, Into the
Ruins sees DUNGEON dig deeper into destruction, with
evermore extreme influences bleeding into their sound.
Their berserker energies summon Sodom and violent '80s
thrash as well as Morbid Angel, Mercyful Fate, and Raped
Ass-era Anti Cimex among other aural terrors, all
merging into DUNGEON's signature explosive sound. The
Venom/Discharge/Priest foundation is still present, but
warped and perverted to an even greater degree.
Into the Ruins is no doubt the work of one,
all-pistons-pumping unit, but individual performances
are worth noting for their contribution to the black
(w)hole. DUNGEON master Luke Drew (ex-Ekrixi) has become
an unstoppable force of demented musical wizardy, his
songwriting reaching new heights over 2020's lockdown.
Six-string sadist Daragh Markham (Inhuman Nature, Who
Cares?) brings his most spiteful guitar attacks to date.
Olivia Airey (Maggot Heart, Raze) proves why she is one
of the most sought-after players in the underground,
with a filthy and undeniable presence throughout the
MLP. And skin-smasher Chris Parker (Venomwolf) holds
these shreds of sanity together with his uncanny
instinct for barbaric flair. With Hillebrand at the
helm, the full spectrum assault of DUNGEON's chaotic,
destructive, and notorious live shows has been fully
harnessed and unleashed across this recording, resulting
in five raw blasts of heavy D-beat metal savagery. A
fitting score for the imminent collapse of civilization,
DUNGEON give you a glimpse Into the Ruins...
Not to be confused with other bands with same name.
