Ledge ‎– Cold Hard Concrete - New Vinyl Record 2017 Translantion Loss Records Pressing on 'Oxblood' Colored Vinyl (Limited to 350!) - Death Metal

Street Date: 8/25/17

LEDGE, the solo project spawned from frenetic front man John Hoffman (Weekend Nachos, Spine) unleashes its crushing full length debut entitled “Cold Hard Concrete”. Eight blistering tracks of pure sonic vitriol coalescing doom-laden, blackened hardcore-sludgy despair with chaotic bouts of powerviolence and traditional death metal all tied together with Hoffman’s now signature vocal styling and lethal lyrical content. Hoffman, in true DIY spirit, brazenly took the helm of all drum, bass and vocal duties adding a level of uncompromising ferociousness to the release which is not just heard, but felt oozing throughout the entire sonic experience. “Cold Hard Concrete” was recorded, engineered and mixed in May of 2017 at Bricktop Studio in Hoffman’s hometown of Chicago by long time musical collaborator, Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos, Like Rats), who also added his distinguished guitar work to the album. With “Cold Hard Concrete”, LEDGE created one of the most brutal and decimating releases of the year and have carved a bloody gouge in the genre’s tumultuous history.
