For almost two decades The Death of Money have carved out a notable home for themselves in the darkened recesses of every dank venue, intrigued soul, and drunken discussion about deserving underground metal.
 
Their sound, a smoldering approximation of doom and sludge metal cut with an astute concoction of goth, post-rock, and shoegaze, has always felt just one record away from greatness. Like a fast-moving train collision between grand concepts and brutal noise, this year, the Cardiff/Manchester trio celebrates their twentieth anniversary with the release of their eagerly anticipated album, Error After Era.
 
“When we finished our last album [Ghost Pains, 2017] we felt like it was going to be our last,” explains guitarist/vocalist, Darren Kaskie. “It had a The Holy Bible feel to it in as much as there was a lot of darkness, especially lyrically. It felt like the end so we never thought we would be releasing another album, let alone one we’re so proud of.”
 
When writing Error After Era, The Death of Money consciously decided to employ sonically heavier riffs. The kind more befitting of a live setting. Experimenting with loops, synths, and Mellotron, and welcoming the incredibly talented vocalist Bethan Lloyd into the fold (on ‘Error After Era’ and ‘Wasp Screams’), the band has not only produced a glorious mutation of all their previous albums to date, but quite possibly their best sounding one yet.
 
“We don’t feel as trapped by ourselves anymore and feel like we can do anything we want. The record sounds massive and we never expected to feel rejuvenated like this. It feels like the start of a new chapter.”
 
Having collaborated in the past with the likes of Jarboe (Swans) and shared stages with bands such as Beak>, Cate Le Bon, Gnod, Giant Swan, Pelican, and The Icarus Line, the band will also continue to make noise where it’s needed the most when they take to the road in support of Error After Era next month. Marking twenty years of keeping it heavy and remaining true to their sound and vision, the album will be released on 8th November on the Suntreader label, and can be pre-ordered here.
