NEWS: Another Brick from WALL!

A byproduct of the great plague years, Wall, the side project of Desert Storm and The Grand Mal that finds brothers Elliot and Ryan Cole playing  Stoner Sludge Doom Metal together will be releasing their debut album “Brick By Brick” via APF Records 30th August. Born of the  frustration at not being able to tour and being  stuck at home together, Elliot and Ryan found themselves seeking a substantially creative way to kill the boredom. That creativity led to two EPs in 2021, and now their debut full-length album with “Cirrhosis” now streaming ahead of time.

“Cirrhosis, the latest single is an interesting sounding track“, says drummer Elliot Cole. “Ryan tuned every string to G for this one. It’s quite a sludgy, downtuned bluesy number, with some slide quitar in there too. Half way through the song, it changes quite massively and ends in a hypnotic droney riff, over a drum tom rhythm which gave us Melvins / Soundgarden & Nirvana vibes. It was quite experimental and a bit different to the others on the album, but adds a nice flavour. As for the title, Ryan got diagnosed with ‘Fatty liver disease’ around the time we were looking for inspiration for the title. Luckily with a better lifestyle change (less sugar and more exercise mostly) it is reversible… however, when he was handed the leaflet from the doctors, the final stage if you don’t make improvements is Cirrhosis, which is irreversible… Cirrhosis looks bad, and isn’t just caused through excess alcohol consumption… anyway it sounded like a good title to a Wall song! It can be difficult finding good titles to songs as an instrumental band, you can see why Karma To Burn just numbered theirs!”
