Southern Stoner Metal Band CALUS Return With The Evolution of Social Exclusion – Album Out October 2nd


South Carolina stoner metal veterans CALUS are making their long-anticipated return with The Evolution of Social Exclusion.

This six-song EP marks CALUS’ first newly recorded work since 2006’s Spiritual Warfare. And the band hasn’t missed a step. At times sludgy, at times trippy and always heavy, The Evolution of Social Exclusion delivers non-stop, bottom-heavy groove, crushing riffs and a hazy Southern swagger.

CALUS has thus far released two singles off The Evolution of Social Exclusion – “No Curses,” a more aggressive cut that pushes the band’s attack into proggier territory, and the sludge-forward stomper “Perdition Anthem.”

Stream both now on Spotify.

The Evolution of Social Exclusion is due out October 2nd on digital and CD formats. Vinyl treatment for the album is coming soon.

For fans of Black Sabbath, Down, Crowbar, Entombed, Clutch, Alice in Chains, Eyehategod, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Acid Bath. 

Track listing:

  1. No Curses
  2. Perdition Anthem
  3. Stone Snake
