Following the release of their demo tape in 2024, TRUE GLOOM took a year to hone their debut LP. And what a huge step this record has become! Following the straight-up hardcore of the demo, they completely reworked their sound: A complex web of details unfolds on a simple framework spanning the triangle between Australian-influenced wrecking ball rock 'n' roll, Swedish 90s hardcore, and New Orleans sludge.
Most of the instruments were recorded at Die Tonmeistei in Oldenburg in fall of 2024, while vocals and additional percussion & instruments were self-recorded by the band in winter 24/25.
