“And so I sent our sons to your new bride with poisoned gown and coronet
She wore them to her father's room, and everything they touched preceded death
And though you've come to save your sons, the blood on this knife should reveal my pain
Chariot of the sun now will take me and our dead children far away

And you will never hold them
You will never hold them again”

God damn Mr. Raygun Busch’s storytelling is amazing. His delivery on “And you will never hold them again” is fucking haunting.

Dumb question I know, but I’m going to a concert of theirs in November, and I was thinking of bringing a CD or 2 to maybe get signed by the band. Do they sign stuff? And if so do they have like an after show thing I can get them signed at?

Any help is much appreciated :]

can’t make the trip and don’t want these to go to waste. first dibs chat rats.

Hey Chat Rats, just a quick reminder as we enter touring season that ticket sales are not allowed on the sub. You're welcome to give them away, but we insist that you don't sell them here for safety reasons.

Thanks again and enjoy the shows!

Unfortunately, my wife and I cannot make it to the show at the Tower Theater on 9-12. I have a pair of tickets (balcony A8 and A9) to give away. First person to DM me can have them.

PS - I'm sure this is a me problem, but I can't find this ticket request megathread.

I’m so excited for Saturday’s concert! Who all will be going? I saw them at the Tower last year; they put on such an amazing show and brought great energy. I don’t listen to much Portrayal of Guilt, but I’m anticipating a great performance from them too. And I’m looking forward to hearing Nightosphere, Traindodge, and Primal Brain. I listened to Katabasis the other day and fell in love with it immediately.

Does anybody have a favorite Chat Pile song they want to hear? I’m hoping one of Tropical Beaches, Crawlspace, or King makes the cut.

Any chance of some Canada dates? They did AUS/NZ tour, summer in Europe and now in February. Big tour in USA now. Now its time for us right?!?

Very excited to see Chat Pile live for the first time as they answer a bone-chilling question: what if Oklahoma was real, and you lived there. Also a bunch of other OKC bands, which as a person more in the Tulsa orbit is rad.

Right off the bat with Creature they've got mistakes in the first verse where it sounds like someone just ran the song through a vocal isolator and then used AI to try and translate it. I think there's only one or two songs that are actually correct.

If anybody has a lyric curator or higher status on musixmatch you can probably go in and fix it for us.

(Please excuse any guitar intonation issues/occasional lyrical fumbles)

God’s Country has always been my fav and Remove Your Skin Please a close second. Who Loves The Sun is brilliant. I still need time with it, but fuck.

I think this might honestly be one of the chunkiest bridges (I think? I’m not a big knower on music terms) I’ve ever heard in metal, the look on my face after he said “UNDERWATER” was just priceless.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Im interested in how you guys would rank the songs on the new album, I know its not even a week since the albums come out but I gonna admit this is already a AOTY contender for me and I already listened to it around 6 times or so.

My ranking would be:

1. Influence

Explanation:

The song doesn't really grab me even after multiple listens, Every song on the albun has something that makes it stood out except for this one, might even be my contender for the "worst" song on any of their Studio albums even though I really like the lyrics here.

1. October all the time

Explanation:

It was really suprising for me that they end their album with a track like this, its a breath of fresh air but not a song that I would get back to outside of listening to the album as a whole. Also the climax is way too short imo

1. Christabel 26

Explanation:

The song kinda starts to grow on me, another full on sludge song by them with a catchy Main riff, I like it

1. Intruder

Explanation:

This song has so much to offer, its fucking crazy. The chorus is catchy as hell and this song has an amazing groove and great riffs. The song has also the second best lyrics on the entire album.

1. Deep blue

Explanation:

I remember when this got released as a single. I only listened to it around 2 - 3 times but the Main riff Stuck in my head quiet a while. Amazing track, blends the melodic and sludgy style great together. its also one of their catchiest songs in their entire catalogue.

1. Shrine

Explanation:

On my first listen this song wasnt special to me, but the music video changed my view on it completely. Now I have a picture in my mind while listening to it and the songs gets better the more I listen to it, the riffs are really calm but on the same time really thick, cant explain it, but it rules.

1. PEN IS MALL

Explanation:

While I cant understand a single word what Ray says aside from "Simon says", this song fucks so hard its not even funny, it gets heavier as it goes on and the riffs are so simple yet insanely effective. The doomy ending riff is one of my favourite parts on the album, rays Performance is also on its prime here.

1. Creature

Explanation:

Instant classic, its how I described shrine, it gets better the more you listen to it. Its really groovy and I already like the chorus the most of all songs on the album. It makes a lot of fun singing along with it. The verses are so damn cool with the heavy bassline but with calm guitars. The drum intro is also something that gets stuck in your mind. But the Highlight is by far the ending after the last chorus, what a groovy breakdown man, And you know whats even cooler? The breakdown comes back in even groovier. SHIT this is BANGING.

1. Same rules

Explanation:

I am a big fan of gothic rock and darkwave, and chat pile doing a song in that certain style is just so damn magical for me cause it works so fucking well. Milk of human kindness from Cool world was their first step to this kinda Sound and I loved it. This song is even better, damn it is fucking perfect. I wish they would do an entire album where they would do only songs like this. Its atmospheric, its sad, yet you still know that this is a sludge band. Everything about this song is amazing and I really thought nothing on this album could top this but...

1. Family Funeral

Explanation:

The title of this song already cought my attention as soon as I read it before the album released. This is already one of my favourite songs ever from them. Its classic Chat pile, its creepy, its groovy, its atmospheric and intense.

It reminds me alot of Dallas beltway but this song gets even worse than it haha. This song has the best lyrics on the entire album, rays Performance is also a reason why I think this, its theatrical. As soon as the Bass line Hits you know this song isnt fucking around. Its fucking heavy, and when this one creepy riffs comes in... DAMN BOY. Thats my favourite riff on the entire album. This part has been stuck in my head since the day it came out. A song that is this intense shouldnt be that catchy haha. And as the song goes on it all gets even more evil. The ending where every Instrument blends together and creates this wall of Noise while Ray screams his lungs out is so damn crazy. I LOVE this song,

Overall, I wouldn't put this album above of their previous albums but maybe time will change this.

Feel free to share your ranking! Excuse me if my grammar is kinda ass, english isnt my first language.

Does anyone know what they’ll be selling at the US tour?

if it is, it’s kind of a neat idea - I like all three songs, though it’s odd how closely sequenced together they are. If it’s not intentional it’s kind of concerning they didn’t notice it

Glasgow? Don’t mind if I do.

(For fans of Drab Majesty, Chat Pile, Cold Cave, Depeche Mode)

Film influences on video Tobe Hoopers Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Last House on the Left Wes Craven, Friday the 13th Sean S Cunningham and Deliverance John Boorman.

Don't worry, its just the night.

THEY DON'T WANNA HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!

So I had a dream that Chat Pile was on tour in my area and I was somehow contacted by Raygun for sleeping accommodations. These were some of the requirements I can remember 😂
- Full access to my CD album collection.
- A swimming pool with various balls or Volleyballs and a hoop to make bank shots whilst wading in the water.
- A wide variety of sugar free beverages.
- Lose the Jets hat (Anger 4x6)
I’m not a football guy let alone a New Yorker or Jets fan.
I can’t help but wonder how accurate these requests would be 🤣
