METHADRONE - 'Better Living (Through Chemistry)' CD (ConSouling Sounds)
Methadrone has come a long way since its conception as a 2-bassed sludge / drone monolith. Craig Pillard (Evoken, Incantation) gradually expanded his sound through experiment with acoustic guitars and other vocal collaborations. "Better Living (Through Chemistry)" pushes beyond the boundaries of traditional doom music, resulting in well balanced atmospheric pieces which make this third full album the apogee of Methadrone's oeuvre this far. On this innovative journey, that bridges the gaps between doom, drone, dark ambient, wave and neofolk, Pillard sided with Jason Wallach (The Unquiet Void), Tara Vanflower (Lycia) and Thierry Arnal (fragment.) present their next step in the evolution of gloomy music. Ltd x 2000 copies in an outsized 6-panel sleeve.

METHADRONE - 'Sterility' CD (Foreshadow Productions)
US-based one-man project Methadrone is spearheaded by Craig Pillard (ex-Incantation), also known as bass player of doom metal band Evoken. Under the moniker of Methadrone, Pillard dives into murky waters of impenetrable sonic depth created by heavy and torturous guitar sounds. From the very first tunes of the title track “Sterility” you are taken down to witness the perfect musical desolation and dryness entrapped in eight inches of the silver plate. Methadrone's sound has evolved into more organic and original entity, defining Craig’s style and maturity as an independent musician. "With lights out and headphones on enter into the world of sound where no life dwells". Features guest vocals from David Galas (Lycia).
