South Australian sonic titans Space Bong have just released their new single, 'Slow Spring', from their upcoming album Deadwood To Worms out 13 October 2015 via Art As Catharsis and FALSExIDOL Records..

After many years of rehab, isolation and living off-grid, the lumbering doom/drone beast of Space Bong has awakened to unleash their long awaited follow up to 2009’s The Death of Utopia.

Entitled Deadwood To Worms, the new album showcases the evolution of Space Bong’s intense and focused form of doom, incorporating elements of sludge, black metal, stoner rock and darkest drone.

This is a doom record that transcends all that has come before it, seething with a bitter nihilism that longs for meaning and resolution in a world of violent chaos and urban decay.

Not willing to surrender to musical trends or outside influences, Space Bong have deliberately remained aloof of the inner doom scene circles, continuing to be outsiders amongst outsiders. Deadwood To Worms is modern in its eclecticism, yet raw in capturing the essence of what heavy music can be.

Space Bong's new single 'Slow Spring' is a meditation on the acceptance of life, death and the totality of experiences that come, go and come again. The self-abuse, violence and hatred that was so present on The Death of Utopia has simmered and settled, yet remains constant, if controlled.

This is a piece of ritualistic doom drone at it's very finest.

Life is a drone.

Space Bong and Capital Waste Pictures have collaborated for a short film for the track 'Slow Spring', filmed over four weeks around Adelaide and the Flinders Ranges.

The collaboration with Space Bong arose out of a shared love for doom, drugs and Gaia.

Liam Somerville of Capital Waste Pictures is a home-grown Adelaide film-maker with strong DIY tendencies.

Capital Waste has created a mountain of wild music film clips, strange advertisements, nonsense webisode series’, arts and culture web videos and fuzzy, analogue visual stimuli.
