HUMAN WORTH are proud to present the "forgotten" EP 'Shelter Ceremony Collapse' recorded 15 years ago by UK doom duo Old Mayor and finally released ahead of the final TST all-dayer 18-19 March, with a portion of proceeds donated to charity.
Old Mayor are Adam Kammerling and Owen Gildersleeve (Modern Technology / Human Worth). They were most active between 2005 - 2009 sharing bills with the likes of Boris, Russian Circles, Heirs, A Storm of Light, Orange Goblin and ASVA. 'Shelter Ceremony Collapse' was recorded during a stint in New York in the winter of 2008, where the duo laid down this beastly three track, recorded by Chris Pierce at Technical Ecstasy Studio in New Brunswick. But the recording never saw the light of day, with the duo parting ways soon after.
Fifteen years later, on hearing the news that legendary Brighton promoters Tatty Seaside Town, who'd given the band their first shows back in the early years, were calling it a day and putting on a final weekender the duo felt it was the right time to finally come back together. To celebrate they unearthed this EP, which was lovingly brought back to life by Evan Gildersleeve, who added additional production on 'Ceremony' and mastered by Stephen Kerrison, adding the final touch.
Human Worth have pressed up a limited edition of fifty cassettes, with 10% of all proceeds donated to Save the Children's Emergency Fund, protecting children in crisis across the globe at this troubling time.

Debut EP Reviews:
"Old Mayor are off exploring an exciting new sonic plane. Thumbs up." 8/10 - Decibel
"Doom-mongers of the highest calibre." - Metal Hammer
"One hell of a beautiful noise." 8/10 - Rock Sound
"Six tracks of skeletal grimness and harrowing quietude. This is less a chief magistrate than a ghastly overseer." 7/10 - Terrorizer
"Woozy waltzy post doom math sludge bliss." - Aquarius Records
"Old Mayor truthfully sound like they have drilled a shaft somewhere below the deepest underground cave. From the bottom of this pit they hurl their nauseating misery up towards anyone brave enough to lend their ears." - Lords of Metal .nl
"Half an hour of dirty, died away anxiety, gloomy monotony and aimless despair." 8/10 - Metal .de
