T.O.M.B. - Abysmal Channeling + album deets

T.O.M.B. are a difficult act to explain. I haven't found a way to play them in the Show either. I think they are slightly mis-sold as a horror/occult act...well their name is Total Occultic Mechanical Blasphemy! However, their sounds evoke institutional power - endless cells; hospitals; prisons; offices; rooms in which terrible events occur; the vicious whispering of those in authority; the lamenting of the patients/victims; the secret rites of sociopaths; the despair or anguish of the good faced with clear evidence that evil has taken control? That sort of thing...
That is the first single from the as-yet-unreleased album 'Fury Nocturnous'! What demographic that single is aimed at is beyond me!
Anyway I think they are really good at this, their use of field recordings in particular. If you're hooked to, they recently re-released some cracking excursions which you can hear/buy here -
