Origin Of The Lugubrious

Master Charger with their 3rd album. The 3-piece are a hard-working, heavy, fuzzed-up stoner act from the Midlands widely known on the live circuit as a formidable powerhouse with a reputation for delivering bone-crushing sets over sublime stoner grooves. Director of Label and Media for Off Yer Rock Rocka Recordings and Chic Festivals John Ellis recently professed “From the moment I heard the crackled opening and the first mighty riff of ‘Origin of the Lugubrious’ I knew this record was going to be something special; not only does this mark a massive progression for the band in terms sound and songwriting, but also demonstrates how deserved their seat is at the top table of the genre with their peers”.

Hailing from the blackest heart of the Midlands, three-piece rock / doom, sludge metal outfit Master Charger formed in 2006 from the ashes of previous semi-successful bands. The experience gained from these previous bands has helped them to establish themselves and carve their own niche. After years of line-up changes, the band released their first full-length album “Unity in Black” in 2011. This was received very well and quickly helped the band gain a fan base. More line-up changes followed this album and eventually in January of 2016 saw the release of the second album entitled “Eroding Empires”.
