Durham, N.C.-based doom/sludge metal band DOOMSDAY PROFIT is proud to announce the release of their latest single, "The South Will Sink." Mixing their usual vitriol with a more complicated range of emotions, propelled by elegantly melancholy guitar leads, the song offers a nuanced take on "Southern" sludge, evoking bands like Crowbar, Thou, or Corrosion of Conformity. 


Thematically, the song imagines a South lost to a rising ocean, viciously celebrating the cleansing floods that might finally wash away the region's lingering history of racial violence and white supremacy, while also leaving room to mourn the loss of the land and the culture born out of it.
