Today esteemed sound portal Pitchfork offers up an exclusive premiere of “Concrete,” from exploratory industrial doomsmiths Batillus. “Concrete” is the opening track to the band’s forthcoming new full-length entitled ‘Concrete Sustain’. Co-produced by sound wizard Sanford Parker at Sound Generation in Manhattan and Hypercube in Chicago and mastered by Collin Jordan at the Boiler Room, ‘Concrete Sustain’ coheres the extremes of heavy music into a surge of massive riffing, rolling over and descending on the listener with the force and intensity of a sudden storm.
