HUSH. was formed by veterans of indie and underground bands including former members of From Ashes Rise, Self Defense Family, Aficionado, Endicott, and others. "The Pornography Of Ruin" showcases a more expanded view of their established sound by embracing more melodic elements, intense dynamic shifts, and previously unexplored vocal and atmospheric textures within each composition. Thematically, the record focuses on the concept of personal destruction and transformation; drawing heavily from vocalist/lyricist Charles Cure’s experiences in the aftermath of a 2016 car accident that left him hospitalized and unable to walk for several months.

After muscling their way onto the scene in 2014, HUSH has since issued albums through the likes of Dullest Records, Silent Pendulum Records, Fuzz Records, Sludgelord Records, as well as independent releases and more. In the years since their most recent album, "Untitled II", the band has endured several lineup shifts that resulted in limited live outings, but the group remained focused on producing a follow-up record that would surpass their previous efforts on every front. To accomplish this, founding member Jordan Cozza built a recording studio in a barn in Hudson, New York and the group began shaping songs that would refine and encapsulate the ideas they had been pursuing since their inception. The result of these labors is the 2022 LP, "The Pornography Of Ruin".

The Pornography Of Ruin will see release on June 24th, released digitally and on CD by the band, on cassette via Sludgelord Records

Fans of Disembowelment, Corrupted, Samothrace, Grief, and Mouth Of The Architect, take note.

"Deeply personal and emotive, the material on The Pornography of Ruin has a weight that doesn’t come from merely the distorted guitars." - Wonderbox Metal
wonderboxmetal.com

"Long years logged in indie scenes have produced a slow fusion of extreme influences and unabashed preferences. The result is a giant-size juggernaut that feels iconoclastic, expansive, and mature, a record made by musicians confident in their talents and tastes. The Pornography of Ruin is an exercise in experiential doom, rather than an adherence to sonic dogma." - Diana Hurlburt for Invisible Oranges InvisibleOranges.com

"...a new album of what can only be described as a journey through face-melting sludge and hardcore ferocity that transcends through the ambient textures of post-metal and doom." - The Sleeping Shaman Webzine www.thesleepingshaman.com

"The Pornography Of Ruin is a crusher any way you slice it. In a scene where so often it feels like sludge metal has been done every which way with no real path forward for the genre, Hush have found a way to make it work. Their sound is visionary and unique, fusing ideas from their peers but executing them in ways that are exciting and wholly their own." - Matt Bacon/Two Guys Metal Reviews www.twoguysmetalreviews.com

"Moving beyond the more traditional metrics of downtuned riffing, thunderous drums and harsh vocals, it’s hard to shake the thick sense of melancholy that envelopes all seven tracks here. Even at its quietest, it remains highly atmospheric – a sort of daunting menace, or even a gloomy grandeur perhaps." - Ellis Heasley/Distorted Sound Magazine
distortedsoundmag.com

"A sludge and doom metal core upholds an amalgamation of influences including hardcore, ambient and experimental sounds, elevating everything in an post metal hybrid with a deeply pessimistic atmosphere, infused with additional intensity and aggression." - ZR for DestroyExist.com
