This Dungeon Earth / Remove Your Skin Please [LP] Vinyl Record

In the spring of 2019, a new rock band made up of four otherwise ordinary Okies emerged seemingly out of nowhere, swiftly turning heads with a grotesque new take on noise rock-one fueled by the existential anguish that has defined the 21st century. Taking it's name from the towering mounds of toxic waste that stand as monuments to capitalism's cruel hubris across it's home state, Oklahoma City's Chat Pile made an immediate impression. That momentum culminated in the release of it's landmark 2022 debut album, God's Country, and it's expansive 2024 follow-up, Cool World.While the massive success of God's Country propelled the quartet from underground favorites to international sensation, Chat Pile's mission to push rock music to new zeniths of intensity was part of the plan from the very beginning. In fact, during the first few months of it's existence, the band began writing and recording some of the heaviest, most hellish, and harrowing material in it's entire catalog-laying the foundation for the themes and sonic traits that would later define their debut LP. The result of these early sessions was a pair of EPs: This Dungeon Earth and Remove Your Skin Please, released in the summer and winter of 2019, respectively.Originally issued by Reptilian Records in 2020, The Flenser is proud to present a special reissue of Chat Pile's pivotal first two EPs, now compiled onto a single disc. This dual-EP compilation captures the earliest moments of the Oklahoma City quartet's discography-a snapshot of the band's pre-Flenser days and the eight tracks of noxious, nihilistic noise rock that helped propel them from local oddity to globe-spanning underground heavyweights.
