With its official reissue now just days away, today Vice Magazine levies the heavy with a stream of “I Am Dying” from legendary Massachusetts doom metal weavers, Warhorse.
The gargantuan psalm comes by way of the band’s final EP of the same name, initially unleashed in 2002, and now available as a companion to the band’s As Heaven Turns To Ash… full-length, both given the reissue treatment by Southern Lord Recordings. Long out-of-print, fervently sought after, and unconditionally vital in foreshadowing the glut of current bands that indulge in slow, self-possessed, infernal low-end sound excursions, Warhorse’s As Heaven Turns To Ash… and their subsequent I Am Dying EP still reeks of brimstone, bong smoke, and burning tube amp nearly 15 years since their respective releases! Both slabs of doom domination will be combined and reanimated on double LP and digital formats courtesy of the Lord.
As Heaven Turns To Ash… + I Am Dying will be released on double LP via Southern Lord Recordings on February 24, 2015. A limited run of 500 copies on gold vinyl are available exclusively to mailorder customers. For pre-order bundles, go here. For digital orders, go here.
