It was a pleasure to welcome Frodo (Guitars/Vox/Synths) & Craig (Bass/Vox/Synths) of Nomadic Rituals back onto the show. The three piece doom/sludge band along with Mark on drums are about to release their incredible fourth album titled 'Fust' via Cursed Monk Records. Myself and Danielle talk through each track with Frodo & Craig and get some great insights into the recording of one of the heaviest and down right gruesome releases of 2025. Recorded and Mixing by Niall Doran at Start Together Studio and mastering by Brad Boatright at Audioseige, Nomadic Rituals have left no stone unturned in perfecting this level of doom-ridden sludge for the listener to choke on!
Check out the links below and buy 'FUST'.
