Dope Skum from Chattanooga are expected to release their new EP, Gutter South, on April 21, 2023. The band's advancement is evidenced in the five songs included on the record, which emphasize a change in direction and sound.
Gutter South builds on Dope Skum's firm heavy rock base, holding fast to their sludge and doom metal origins, while providing a new outlook on their sound. Written with a new lineup that includes Cody Landress-Gibson (guitar, vocals) and Scott Keil (drums), Gutter South develops on Dope Skum's strong basis.
With a fresh angle, new single offering, Belly Lint, deals with addiction and the tenacity of the human spirit. The group's dedication is once more on display, and their detailed take on stoner rock and sludge metal sounds both fresh and recognizable, recalling artists like Weedeater, Bongzilla, Dopethrone, and Eyehategod.
