On Pain Of Death Doom Metal / Co. Mayo

OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY…

Formed in the boggiest of the boggy depths of Ireland in March ’08, On Pain of Death play slow and twisted doom/sludge metal. The band played their first gig in June ’08 and recorded their self-titled first demo over that same weekend and the next in Oaks Recording, Enniskillen, NI. The band continued to play throughout the Summer and returned to Oaks at the end of September to record their next EP which features one slab of degrading filth called “Rotting in a Tomb of Depravity”. Not happy with the outcome of the recorded EP, OPoD decided to shelf the release with an intention to rework and re-record the track for a future release. A cover version of the Sepultura track Troops of Doom was recorded and released on vinyl by Blinddate Records in December ’09. The release featured bands such as Moloch, Thou, Aguirre, Loss and Hey Colossus all doing doomed out covers. In the latter half of 2010 early 2011 OPoD recorded their first album entitled “Year Naught Doom”. With Handshake Inc. on board “Year Naught Doom” was released as a free download in late 2012 and subsequently released on tape in the summer of 2013 by Dry Cough Records.
