St. John’s stoner metallers Last Soul Down released their debut album The Perfect Disaster all the way back in May of 2014 and new music from the band has been scarce since then aside from a few new tunes that the group has performed live. Earlier this year the group also suffered a loss when guitarist Cory Fagan and drummer Benoit Roy departed the band to focus on their new project Sons of an Eastern Moon. However, in the intervening period the band has found new musicians to fill the shoes of those who left in the form of Peter Harbin and G.D. O’Connell, both of whom were officially announced to be part of the band on September 4th.

The band revealed back in November of 2018 that their second album had been fully recorded and they were in the process of raising funds to release it. In July of this year they revealed that Don Ellis was mixing and mastering the new album. Following these two announcements, band vocalist and frontman who goes by ‘Ricohardt Von Pyres’ on Facebook, claimed in the Facebook group NL Musicians Showcase that the new album is “coming out ASAP”, so chances are we can expect to hear the followup to The Perfect Disaster quite soon.

As we wait for the new album to drop, take a listen to a live version of a tune from the record entitled “Judas” through our YouTube embed.
