MILLIONS "PANIC PROGRAM" NOW AVAILABLE, NAME YOUR PRICE.

taken from the millionsdistorts blog:

"In what seemed like a genius idea, we booked studio time before we left for Europe. The idea being that we had new songs and after playing them every night for a month straight, what better time to record? We enlisted the engineering skills of Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recording. He had recorded the Harpoon and Weekend Nachos full lengths and those sounded stellar. Andy also does guitar / pick slides in Weekend Nachos, and their shows are worth a night leaving your couch.

We loaded into the studio and got situated in a room that could fit us all. The idea was to set up in the same room, mic us all up, and get an energetic live recording. Vocals would be tracked separately and of course the guitar feedback overdubs would be done later.

We walked out of there with four originals and a cover of Nirvana's "Tourette's". The new material is MILLIONS moving in a forward direction for sure. Or perhaps we are moving sideways."

With amazing artwork done by Orion Landau, This EP came out last year as vinyl only on BRUTAL PANDA, but now we are unleashing it on to the Internet. Pay a little or pay nothing, just please enjoy it and thank you for your support!

"Batillus' mega-doom is some high-dosage shit; super-sized riffs anchor the load, but 'Furnace' is way more than just thick strings, bass drones, fuzz boxes, and early Sabbath LPs. Their debut comes soaked in a lysergic emulsion of USBM melancholia, weird quasi-industrial distortion and feedback, with epic jams coming out for air when the Brooklyn quartet wants to kick it all laid-back and loose-leafed with some NeurIsis-style clean guitar." - DECIBEL

"Big on atmosphere, big on time and big on tone, the first album from Brooklyn doomers Batillus is a bleak, oppressive six-song outing that’s bound to ring their name out among the underground converted." - THE OBELISK

"Fans of massive riffs and being crushed to death in slow motion have got a fantastic album to look forward to in 'Furnace.' For a debut full-length, Batillus has done something pretty spectacular." - METAL UNDERGROUND

BATILLUS "DEADWEIGHT" PREMIERED ON THE VILLAGE VOICE. FULL INTERVIEW INCLUDED.

"​Bloody-knuckled Brooklynites Batillus are almost irrationally doomy these days. "

""Deadweight," one of the record's highlights, is actually one of their most melodic moments to date, a distortion-soaked gray tidal wave of synths and slime, the bile-spattered point before Godflesh goes full-on Jesu. "
