Genre: Rock
In the summer of 2019, a newly formed, Oklahoma City-based rock band called Chat Pile would release it's debut four-track EP, This Dungeon Earth. Little did anyone know at the time, but this initial taste of grotesque, confronting, and visceral noise rock courtesy of four slacker Okies would kick off the story of what would soon be one of the most widely lauded underground acts in years. Like the towering mounds of toxic waste from which it gets it's namesake, Chat Pile's body of work is emblematic of a distinctly midwestern flavor of American dread, with This Dungeon Earth being no exception to the rule. While raw in presentation, Chat Pile's debut EP comes across as anything but a rough draft. Much of the band's hallmark traits, spanning the unhinged vocals of frontman Raygun Busch, the grotesquely contorted guitar riffage, and the industrial smack of heavily processed percussion, appear as far back as this earliest chapter. If anything, the raw, DIY-rooted origins of these uncompromising thirteen minutes of sludged-out carnage make This Dungeon Earth all the more impactful. Between it's biting social commentary and gratuitous grindhouse insanity, the unfiltered brutality of Chat Pile's debut recording has seen tracks like "Rainbow Meat", "Face", and "Ratboy" become mainstays in it's notorious live shows. Although it depicts the band's monstrous amalgamation of noise rock, sludge metal, hardcore, and more as it is just beginning to congeal, This Dungeon Earth comes off as the furthest thing from a simple intro and more of an essential first chapter in Chat Pile's story.
