Seven Foot Spleen - Reptilicus CS

When discussing the titans of North Carolina sludge metal, names like FACEDOWNINSHT or WEEDEATER might come to mind. But before they rose from the mire, there was SEVEN FOOT SPLEEN—raw, relentless, and criminally underrated.

Active from 1994 to 1998, this powerhouse operated just outside the Queen City, carving out their own brutal niche with a demo, a self-titled EP, two devastating splits, and a crushing full-length album. The sonic fury they unleashed firmly positioned them as kindred spirits to the likes of CATTLEPRESS and 16, undoubtedly worthy of a spot on the legendary CRY NOW CRY LATER comps.

This is your chance to dive headfirst into their uncompromising legacy with this definitive collection of their long-out-of-print material, meticulously remastered by Jirix Mie-Paz. Their incendiary live shows saw them sharing stages with underground legends such as BUZZOV-EN, IN/HUMANITY, GRIEF, BENUMB, DAMAD, and a myriad of others. SEVEN FOOT SPLEEN wasn’t just a band—they were a force of nature, and their influence still ripples through the sludge and doom scene to this day.
