Organ Thing of the day…. Extra Life’s Charlie Looker in PSALM ZERO, a taste of COFFINWORM and a touch of old school Bronx train bombing…
New York based experimental metal band PSALM ZERO, a new band featuring Charlie Looker from the excellent Extra Life), have posted a taster of things to come in the form of a track called “The Drain”, a track from their debut album that’s expected to be coming out in March (on Profound Lore records) .

Overall, “IV.I.VIII” is a sonic testament to the imminent end times befallen upon the feeble mortal coil”.
