new Dragged into Sunlight is excellent. great list.

Thanks man! I saw Dragged last year in Tasmania and it was honestly one of the best shows I've ever experienced. Such a great band!

As much as I loved Terminal Aggressor II I reaaaally hope we get an album some day soon.

Second that - great list.  Apparently Dragged got fucked hard by their label. They released II with no fanfare, little marketing, etc.  That was their story anyway.

Prosthetic Records yeah. Apparently Prosthetic hadn't been paying them properly for years. Prosthetic released II themselves after the band submitted it but apparently Prosthetic wasn't happy unless they submitted more music (I think, I can't recall exactly). Bit of a shame really.

I hope DIS releases some new stuff elsewhere soon.

Hell yes. Another Armand Hammer fan in this forum. Those guys are incredible. Also, billy woods has a new track with Moor Mother which is great. www.stereogum.com/2090774/moor-mother-billy-woods-furies/music/

Damn I hadn't heard this yet. Thanks for the heads up, this is amazing and drenched in atmosphere. I would love a collab album between the two tbh
