Wömit Angel have released Spermhamforash, their sixth album, with no label behind it.
Eleven tracks and a bonus, and the Tampere band have changed nothing about what they do since Sadopunk Finland in 2022: black metal played at punk tempo with the thrash riffing left in, and song titles written to be objectionable rather than clever. They have called their own genre sadopunk for long enough that other people use the word now.
Sixteen years and six albums is a long run for a band this deliberately unmarketable. Godz ov War have put out the last few records; this one went out on its own.
The line up has barely moved. W. Horepreacher has sung and played bass since 2010, J. Violatör has had the guitar just as long, and Atomic Torment took the drums in 2015 and has kept them.
Finland has a whole seam of bands like this, playing to a few hundred people a night and recording whenever the money appears, and they outlast most of the bands that get written about. Six albums in is where that stops looking like stubbornness and starts looking like a working method.
