Kalloused can be easily defined as veterans of the British underground. Featuring musicians with an absolute extreme background, this new project is pure heaviness in music. Unconventional and unpredictable, Kalloused are a brave new entity in the newborn blackened doom and post sludge scene!
The band: "Chaotic, bleak and wrought with tension , Kalloused are a 4 piece hailing from the south coast of England with past and current members of Grey Widow, Thread and Beaten Up By boys."
The label: "Kalloused are a unique band, embracing a new mix of genres which is the offspring of sludge, post hardcore and blackened doom. Taking the distance from an over abused approach to heaviness, they found their spot mixing noisy post hardcore and slow paced riffage through a highly corrosive formula. One of the most incredible debuts coming from UK this year!"

This album oozes with atmosphere and darkness that's great to listen to especially under grey skies! It's full of brilliant riffs and instrumental sections with very fitting and solid vocals that compliment everything I've mentioned
This is a top release and a prime slab of Post-Metal excellence! Venombullet666

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

This one really goes deep. Tremendously heavy and bleak, yet crushingly groovy as well. You can easily see these guys destroying any venue they'd hit live with this. The heavy hitting slow to mid-tempo tunes are sort of tranceinducing. It's very easy to listen to it multiple times in a row or even get lost in it totally. mourner
