The Ditch And The Delta Streaming "Fuck On Asphalt"

As Battleground Records prepares to release the "Hives In Decline" debut LP by Salt Lake City-based trio The Ditch And The Delta, today new track "Fuck On Asphalt" comes online, which features guest contributions from Gentry Densley of Eagle Twin and Iceburn.

Engineered by Andy Patterson of Subrosa, "Hives In Decline" shows The Ditch And The Delta exploring further aspects of sound design within the group's unique take on doom/sludge metal. Employing different tunings, and modal centers, every song the band writes manages to avoid many of the usual doom trappings of excessive feedback, static harmony, and pentatonic riffs.

"Hives In Decline" also features a swarm of solos by Gentry Densley (Eagle Twin, Iceburn) on the song "Fuck On Asphalt." The lyrical content deals with everyday life and the constant suppression and alienation that comes with it. Three men from Mormon-dominated Utah are bound to have a lot of resentment and disdain for the mono culture they exist in daily.
