Circling the Drain

Ray Keenaghan has long been involved in Ireland's doom scene as the drummer of Wreck of the Hesperus and more recently Gourd. His new solo project Beneath the Sod is in similar territory to WOTH's self-styled "mental funeral doom" but with a different unsavoury flavour - his usual percussive fluidity being for the most part replaced with neanderthal brutality amid harsh noise-damaged riffage and industrial decay. Features guest appearances from AC (WOTH, Malthusian) and Baggy (War Iron) and artwork from AC and Paul McCarroll (Primordial et al). A soundtrack to slowly mummifying bog bodies.
