Longing For Infection

2016 album from the sludge metal band. The scathing follow-up to the bands critically-adored 2014 sludge opus, Vermin Prolificus, Longing For Infection was recorded and engineered by Dave Johnson (Midnight, Incantation, Soulless) and features the return of Fistula founding member Bahb Branca on second guitar, furthering the bands already torrid brand of sonic violence. Ohio's Fistula was formed in 1998 by musical partners in crime Corey Bing and Bahb Branca. Over the years, Fistula has released a seemingly endless barrage of studio albums and split EPs through numerous lineup changes featuring the creative talents of bands such as 16, Sloth, Hemdale, The Disease Concept and Accept Death to name a few. Fistula is a band that is impossible to categorize, combining elements of remedial sludge, hardcore and a 'Bad Case of the Mondays', Fistula remain the kings of doomed out miserycore. 2015 saw the band at it's creative peak, headlining the Het Patronaat stage at Road-burn Festival and recording the Destitute demo as well as Longing For Infection.
