Carcharodon release Never on Your Side tomorrow, 26 September, through Satanath Records.
Ten tracks, opening on Speedfreaks and closing on Clubhouse Stangata. The title track is second and runs 1:49, the only running time the catalogue carries so far, which tells you roughly what register the record is in. Pig Faced Turd, Leather Alligator and The Balls' Law are the other titles that give the tone away.
It is the fifth album and the first since Sbhorror in 2023, after Bukkraken in 2018 and Roachstomper in 2013, with a bootlegs and rarities compilation in 2021.
The band formed in Alassio, on the Ligurian coast, in 2003, and two of them have been there the whole way: Dr. Pixo the Maniac on vocals and bass and Boggio the Zulu Hammer on guitar. Max plays the second guitar and Nuzzi Beak has drummed since 2016. What they play sits between stoner metal and death n roll, which is a narrow enough seam that Italy has maybe three bands working it.
