It Gets Worse

by Kulk

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A super limited edition of just 5 fuzz pedals, created by guitarist Thom Longdin featuring a stunning screenprinted shell, with 10% of all proceeds donated to the NHS Foundation.

    In the word of Thom: "In Kulk fashion we've taken a Fuzz Rite type circuit and pushed the gain further than anyone asked. Basically it makes things sound more. Stack it with other gain pedals or into a dirty amp and you'll see it's essentially a switch to make your tone more "interesting".

    The pedal features a striped back design, one knob that functions as a gain/volume. Inside you'll find the tweaking. A bias trim pot can be adjusted with a screwdriver. It's subtle but you'll find bass response differences at either end of this potentiometer. On the other side is a gain control you can use to tame this pedal, some people like that."

about

Human Worth are proud to present the immense new album ‘It Gets Worse’ from Norwich based two-piece Kulk, with a portion of proceeds donated to charity.

Kulk’s latest album ‘It Gets Worse’ comes two and a half years after the release of their thunderous and experimental sophomore album ‘We Spare Nothing’ which saw them further define their unique and monolithic brand of heavy doom and sludge and sees the band mature massively in sound as well as cementing their place as the future of UK heavy music. Jade Ashleigh (drums) and Thom Longdin (vocals and guitar) have defined their sound massively across this release, focusing on louder and more aggressive cuts throughout this 8 track album.

The first half of ‘It Gets Worse’ gleefully drags us backwards through the sonic doom scape of the Kulk that we’re familiar with through wizzing saw noises, primal gurgles and chugging riffs. ‘Mammoth’ hits a new stride for the band and sticks to its name well, elevating their sound into something unstoppable and stomping with much faster and aggressive passages than previous tracks. The lead single ‘Beyond Gone’ turns a bleak and intoxicating stumble into a seriously cutting track and a good summary of the depth and heaviness across the rest of the release. ‘Life Will Wait’ features Adam Sykes of Pigsx7 who approached the band about lending some guest guitar to the album which was captured in an exciting on the road recording shredding session and summated in the moments of respite and versatility in songwriting.Their infamous live shows and voracious touring schedule have garnered a tight cult of fans including genre traditionalists and complete outsiders alike due to their captivating displays of aggression and prowess in artistic performance. If you haven’t heard of Kulk yet then it’s definitely time to start listening.

The album will be available to pre-order from 5th April and releasing in full on the 17th of May 2024 through Human Worth on vinyl and digital – a UK charitable label showcasing incredible artists with a portion of all proceeds donated to help support those in crisis and ensuring that bands are paid fairly. They’ve pressed up a limited edition of stunning ‘Pink & Black Swirl’ vinyl with a special edition of signed copies, with 10% of all sales proceeds donated to the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund.

“This album is about the universal suffocating weight of hoping for more while navigating a climate where the apparatus for seeking it is being consistently undermined. What it feels like to not only struggle keeping your head above water but to try jumping out from the deep end without loosing your trunks. It is selfish guilt and misplaced woe, desire is a distraction from the world at our feet.” – Kulk
