Modder

Modder is a five-piece sludge & doom formation hailing from Ghent, Belgium. With riffs designed to make your neck break, supported by thundering basslines, grooving drums, industrialist samples and synths, they forge a unique sound in the sludge landscape. In response to their first EP ‘Mudslinger’ (2020), an impressive 21-minute-long riff fest, Lay Bare Recordings & Consouling Sounds joined forces and offered the band to bring onto the world their self-produced and by now critically-acclaimed self titled 12’’ which sold out within two weeks after its release on December 3rd, 2021. With its second release ‘The Great Liberation Through Hearing’ (2023) Modder continued to crush audiences with their sonic mayhem adding an ever-growing fan base to their following. All this with one goal in mind: to obliterate every stage as they take their riff worship to the highest possible sound-level. Modder’s third full length, entitled 'Destroying Ourselves For A Place In The Sun', is set to be released on October 3rd 2025. Musically speaking, Modder has once again pushed the boundaries for themselves with this new batch of songs. Building on the previous and widely praised album 'The Great Liberation Through Hearing', the new work is perhaps an even bigger statement. And in doing so, the combination of 'Sludge' (and by extension all sorts of metal variants) with the even more refined electronic Psy elements comes awfully close to a perfect symbiosis!
