Portland, Oregon’s new masters of sludge metal RAVINE share the punishing second track off their forthcoming debut album, Chaos And Catastrophes, due out June 20th on Ripple Music.
Get punched in the guts by the sludge power of ‘Conjure’
With a lineup of scene veterans that punches well above its weight, this hard-charging quintet delivers a whiplash-inducing blend of hardcore sludge metal and swampy doom blues packed with swagger, sinister grooves, brilliant sorrowful twin guitar harmonies, and gritty Bourbon-soaked vocals, which should comes as an absolute must-hear for fans of Down, Crowbar and Corrosion Of Conformity.

Formed in 2018 amid Portland, Oregon’s chilly haze, RAVINE emerged from the shared vision of guitarists Nico Schmutz (Robots of the Ancient World) and Justin Morgan (SkullDozer), who bonded over their love of heavyweights like Down, Corrosion Of Conformity and Eyehategod. With a handful of riffs in hand, they swiftly rounded out the lineup with drummer Matt Amott (Wölflaut) and bassist Dylan Wills (Brick Bath), releasing their self-titled debut EP with original vocalist Daren Ford before his departure in late 2020.
In March 2022 RAVINE found their new voice in Paul Dudziak (Mammoth Salmon), setting the stage for their next chapter. Fresh off a January 2024 session at Wrong Way Recording with producer Rob Wrong, RAVINE is ready to deliver their debut album, Chaos And Catastrophes, on June 20th through Californian heavy label Ripple Music.
RAVINE is:
Nico Schmutz – guitars
Justin Morgan – guitars
Matt Amott – drums
Dylan Wills – bass
Paul Dudziak – vocals
