Press for "Pariahs":

"Noisy post-hardcore sludge, full of energy and rage... a genuine ass-kicker of a record." - Decibel

"This band is burly, grimy, and the sonic manifestation of discontent. If it's motivational music you seek, back away slowly. Alienatör ply their trade in the margins of metal, with elements of sludge, noise rock, hardcore, heavy metal, and crust punk. Listeners of Pariahs, the band's debut full-length, will hear shades of Unsane, Red Fang, Cursed, Kvelertak, Acid Bath, and Cancer Bats, among other guitar-heavy acts by whom sophistication and polish are eschewed." - Lambgoat

"Pariahs shows Alienatör firing all of their creative cylinders and marks a multifaceted, all-consuming sludge opera delivered with convincing force and accents." - Idioteq

"Gritty, high-octane sludge..." - Metal Trenches

"From beginning to end Alienatör offers up a truly murky, chunky yet noise filled sound that tears at your ear drums, but in the best possible way. Each track is a madhouse of artery stopping, head banging sludge and noise rock that you cannot simply turn away from." - Cadaver Garden


About Alienatör:

Alienatör are a sludge metal band from Ontario, Canada who combine punk, hardcore and noise rock elements into a stripped down package, full of razor sharp riffs and memorable hooks.

Their debut album, "Pariahs," moves from fast and aggressive to slow and swampy with touches of experimental weirdness.

Many of the lyrics are about how we numb ourselves to the pain and disappointment of every day life.

They also touch on social issues on songs like "Renovicted," (about gentrification and slum landlords in Vancouver) or "Drag the River," (about Thunder Bay's river of tears).

They have shared the stage with Soulfly, Anciients, Zaum, Toxic Holocaust & Dead Quiet.

"Pariahs" was recorded and mixed by Sean Skillen at Exit Music Studio. Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Guest vocals on "Morgue Bait," by Curtis Wilson.

Release date: September 6 2019
