Majestic Mountain Records is thrilled to announce the official release of Ascend/Descend, a brand-new split album from two titans of underground
heavy: Belfast-based bruisers, SLOMATICS, and Stockholm’s psychedelic sledgehammers DOMKRAFT.
Having first met at Psycho Las Vegas in 2017, both bands have since developed an unmistakable kinship; asonic connection carved out over the years
through occasional collaborations, shared jam spaces, vested interests, and a profound love of all things heavy. There is no question that in this instance,
three is the magic number as both sets of trios enter a trifecta of sizeable trade-off with the help of esteemed Stockholm label, Majestic Mountain Records.
Ascend/Descends releases April 22nd on CD, digital and VINYL!
There will be 3 versions available of the vinyl!
