avalanche is a sludge metal band from vienna, austria. i already have their two releases before this full length here. those were just three and five song e.p.'s and already seven and six years old. so a lot of time went by and i thought the guys called it a day. the more i was surprised when i stumbled upon this record when checking the wooaaargh records shop.
what actually made me check out this album in particular was the cover art. as there is no band logo or so on the cover i wasn't aware that the band at hand was avalanche when i clicked it. i think the original painting is oil on canvas and just looks awesome. musically avalanche picked up where they left off with "thanatos" in 2012. rock solid sludge metal with a hardcore edge to it. check them here. 313 copies made. wooaaargh. 2019.
