Sacred Bones Records

STREET DATE: EARLY JUNE

THOU has always been a force of raw energy and unapologetic
dissent, defying easy categorization and challenging listeners
to confront the complexities of existence. Though often
lumped in with New Orleans sludge bands like EYEHATEGOD
and CROWBAR, THOU transcends genre boundaries, drawing
inspiration from a diverse array of influences spanning from
- 15 -

’90s proto-grunge icons like NIRVANA, ALICE IN CHAINS, and
SOUNDGARDEN (all of whom they’ve covered extensively) to
the raw intensity of obscure ’90s DIY hardcore punk found on
labels like Ebullition, Vermiform, and Crimethinc. Their latest
record, Umbilical, THOU’s first full-length release of original
music since their 2018 Sacred Bones debut, Magus, is their
firmest nod to the latter—a record filled with mosh-ready riffs,
heavy breakdowns and scathing vocals. The band’s aesthetic
and political impulses have always been punk and like anyone
embroiled in the subculture THOU have been exploring what it
means to exist within and without a rigid morality.
