Pilgrimage

by OLDE

supported by

Ioannis Valiakos Majestic sludge of the finest order! With one eye on the hard-hitting riffs of Shrinebuilder and the other one on the melodies of Down, OLDE have created an album that pisses all over its own territory. Heavy as fuck! Favorite track: Medico Della Peste.

Jaberwakky I can listen to this everyday. I should have bought two copies of this record, as I am sure I will wear out the grooves on it.....such a shame.

about

"Listening to the sludgy doom of Toronto’s OLDE, I feel like a traveler of 2120 making my way back to the site that represents our present world. I feel the acid rain whipping my skin and the heavy, malodorous air pushing into my lungs. I’m listening to their single “A New King,” and to me, it’s a story as old as time – as one king dies, another takes his place, and as things change they stay the same – and our hope is eternal as we pray to our gods for relief and forgiveness. And all this fantastical woe is wrapped in a shadowy doom and filthy sludge package that reminds me that what we will always have is our ability to create, in anger or despair or fervor."

Inspired by a recording session with long-time stoner metal stalwarts Sons of Otis, guitarist/producer Greg Dawson (Cunter, Grift, BWC Studios) began to handpick and assemble OLDE back in 2014.

Eschewing the sometimes meandering mores of the genre, OLDE's first album, I, was released by Toronto’s Hypaethral Records in 2014 followed by a 4-song independently released EP, Shallow Graves, in 2016. Acting as bridge between I and what would become the band's 2017 acclaimed release Temple, Shallow Graves shows the band reaching out into more frantic, feral and frenzied territory while staying true to their heavy riff-clobbering roots.

The band's second full length, Temple, was released in August of 2017 by STB Records, and showed much growth, encompassing more abstraction and harmony, whilst continuing to bludgeon their fans with riff after riff driven by the sophisticated-caveman drums of Aubin and the harsh, yet always clear, vocals of lyricist McLarty.

Over 2019 and early 2020, OLDE wrapped the writing and recording of their third full-length, Pilgrimage. The album is another step up in all aspects maintaing OLDE's penchant for punishing heaviness while still focusing on melodies and rock n' roll sensibilities. Fans of the band will no doubt be pleased by their never-wavering commitment to earth heaving riffs, and while the songs might be more nuanced, they are the bands best. Pilgrimage also features guest solos from “Chewy” Daniel Mongrain of Voivod and Nichol S. Robertson.

An amazing album 👍🏻 It took me a while to get into Boss Keloid’s groove. I knew intellectually that it was my kinda music but I didn’t take to Melted On The Inch like I thought I would. I think listening to lots of modern jazz limbered me up! This is really complicated prog rock with heavy ass guitars added for street cred. I’m so happy that anyone might consider this band cool. They’re fucking cool to me but music like this has been vilified in the past. All hail the new Gentle Giant! Crinklechips

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
