English sludge doomers Slabdragger have taken on several problems, such as recording issues and collapsed lungs.  Yet, just like their music, there is no stopping these guys.  Today they announced the release of their newest album 'Rise of the Dawncrusher'.

About the album:

"This album has been about three years in the making. Between drummer changes, recording problems, a cancelled tour, collapsed lungs and other personal problems, this album has slowly come kicking and screaming into existence.

Rise of the Dawncrusher is a sci-fi adventure set in the distant future. We feel we've created something rather special sonically and you can expect a few elaborate twists and turns that will leave Regress behind with space debris in its wake. Prepare for Dawncrusher… "

Release Date: 26th February 2016 on Holy Roar Records
