Dead End

by R.I.P.

Gregory "Dead End" is my favorite track, but the choice was tough. There were so many good tracks that I had trouble picking just one. This is fuzzed out doom with riffs!!! This is the home of fist pumping choruses, and driving fast: until I hit the "Dead End". R.I.P.

This is a doom classic, in my opinion. Favorite track: Dead End.

Coby Huge chunk of street doom! These streets are my only friend! Favorite track: Dead End.

Lute FP Dirty riffs combined with dirty doom. Hints of punk, thrash, rock, and more. There’s a certain something that the French call “I don’t know what” that elevates this into the pantheon of killer modern heavy music.

The riffage and aesthetic remind me of probably the most horrible, filthy, wicked, and strangely awesome band of all time, Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza. But don’t go down that path unless you’ve had all your immunization shots. And wear your ‘special’ helmet.

about

When R.I.P. came crawling out of the sewers of Portland, OR four years ago, their grimy, sleazy Street Doom was already a fully formed monstrosity that quickly infected the minds of everyone it encountered. At the time, none of us expected its depravity to take such fierce hold, and yet, here were are, sheltering in place and/or stealthily creeping through a nightmare dystopia that the 80s sci-fi/horror movies foretold.

Dead End is, ironically, a recharge of the band’s sound, bearing influences ranging from John Carpenter films, post-apocalyptic grunge, pro-wrestling attitude and salty lo-fi hip-hop aesthetics to the band’s ferocious heavy metal. During the three years since the 2017 release of their sophomore album Street Reaper, R.I.P. has been busy tightening their sound and their line up while loosening
their grip on sanity — touring the west coast with bands like Electric Wizard and Red Fang, and taking Street Doom overseas for the first time for a month long headlining tour of Europe. These years on the road and the addition of a more aggressive rhythm section have allowed the band to fully break free from their influences and deliver on the promise hinted at on their first two releases.

For Dead End, R.I.P. worked with legendary producer Billy Anderson, interring onto wax their heaviest and most ambitious album yet. Continuing to move further away from their classic doom influences like Pentagram and Saint Vitus, the band offers a rare blast of originality in a scene rife with formulaic bands. Dead End is a fast and anxious ride where the very idea of doom is put to the test under duress of manic lyrics about death, insanity, and leather, and hook-laden guitar tracks that draw as equally from Nirvana as Black Sabbath.

Dead End will be available on LP, CD and download on October 9th, 2020 via RidingEasy Records.

about

R.I.P. Portland, Oregon

After several years of hammering the west coast with the blunt scythe of street-doom, R.I.P. finally committed to tape an introductory will and testament for the rest of the world to tremble to. “In the Wind” closes the casket on the trends and exhumes the notion that doom isn’t about how slow and de-tuned you can play, but about fear, death, leather and playing as heavy as possible. ... more
