BEGGAR - Black Cloud (Official Music Video 2020) (APF Records)

Sludge meets extreme metal nihilists BEGGAR have released Black Cloud, taken from debut album Compelled To Repeat which will be released on 3rd April via APF Records. Recorded with Wayne Adams (responsible for recent works by Green Lung, 11Paranoias and Terminal Cheesecake) at Bear Bites Horse, London and mastered by the master of noise himself, James Plotkin (Sunn O))), ISIS, Pelican and Earth) the album is a fuming tornado of aggression and frustration. Impossible to fit within the stoner bracket, their sound nonetheless nods to the huge monoliths of tone that such a tag implies. More multi-faceted than the death metal or hardcore genres would allow, BEGGAR still use the sheer brutality and visceral dynamics of those styles as their primary means of propulsion. Comprised of Charlie Davis (vocals/bass), Abe Whitworth (guitars), Jake Leyland (guitars/vocals) and Bertrand Sautier (drums, formerly of French deathgrind outfit Sedative), BEGGAR have shared stages with the likes of Eyehategod, Slabdragger, Elephant Tree and The Obsessed and appeared at Bloodstock Festival in 2019. Compelled To Repeat is a devastating listening experience, one offering a glimpse into a new sphere of savagery, seeking to leave the listener with real scars from raw, honest music. Most will find it a hard journey and startlingly abhorent, but for the brave few lies a raucous audio initiation into the hellish world of BEGGAR. Beggar are a destructively heavy band.' - Alex Baker, Kerrang 'Ridiculous in the heaviest way possible.' - The Obelisk 'Chest-caving, suffocating heaviness.' - No Clean Singing Video by Sam Finney.
