Named after the legendary Dr Who episode from 1975, this band has been created to push music to its limits. Crushing doom, blastbeats, harsh electronics/vocals and a beautiful prog feel combine to push boundaries a little further in extremity. Noise artist Stuntcock had been looking for some extreme musicians to accompany his electronic racket, calling on his old cohort Seddon, and two travelling Sontarans, Rooster and Si. After hours of jamming, songs have been structured, all at approx 15-20 mins but as all great symphonies, divided into movements. You will love or hate this band, there is NO middle ground. Incidentally if you like the new Dr Who you are a cunt, and will be defeated by the might of the SONTARAN EXPERIMENT. WE NEED GIGS. HELP US.
The track SUBCONSCIOUS MEMORY is ONE song, just divided into 3 for MySpace purposes. If you have the facility, join them together after download. Or play them quickly in succession.
Our album, cleverly titled 1 is out this year, was going to be June but it ll be a bit later than that, expect some sneak previews on here in the next few weeks.

I've completely enjoyed listening to your self-titled record. It was an impulse buying after listening to some 30-sec-samples, and I absolutely don't regret it! Now I'm drowned in the whole complexity of this monstrosity! Nice work, guys!!!
PALEHORSE: One of the most truly devastating and encapsulating live experiences you'll ever see. On tour in the UK, Palehorse bring their crusty but occasionally sweet alt-crust-sludge to crumple the Sheffield Red House, leaving no survivors
MOLOCH: Relatively new faces, but hitting the ground running are Notts based Moloch. These ex-members of Army of Flying Robots bring a sickening blend of the riffs and hooks of traditional sludge with the noise roots of crust punk. Shocking to the core, in the most satisfying of ways
BERSERKOWITZ: South Yorkshire's own deviants of Eyehategod/Bongzilla worship Berserkowitz have tried and tried to warn the Red House what having them back to their beautiful establishment will do for their health, but they just won't listen.
