DOPETHRONE + KARAVAN Neue Zukunft, Berlin am 14.08.24

Dopethrone is a three piece band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Active since 2008, this DIY band encompasses the bleakness of black metal, the steadfastness of New Orleans-style sludge, and a heavier-than-thou doom mentality. The riffs are thick, punishing, suffocating and destructive, with lyrics based in self-destruction, murder, cannabis and sleazy drug abuse.
The band refers to their music as “Slutch”, the canadian term for cold sludge, a.k.a dirty mud snow. They once described it as “frozen sludge, snow covered in crackhead diarrhea, blood, tears and broken dreams”.
