A Thousand Sufferings / Kludde Het Pact (Color) vinyl on Consouling Sounds is a 2024 split LP between two bands who specialize in dark, heavy music, pressed on Misty Bog colored vinyl: a collaboration between acts who do not often work together, released on a label committed to the heavy and experimental European underground and its dedicated collector audience who follow Consouling’s catalog closely.
A Thousand Sufferings / Kludde Het Pact (Color) vinyl: The Collaboration
The framing around this record is direct: A Thousand Sufferings and Kludde are both bands whose musical purpose involves bringing darkness to the listener in different but compatible ways. Early in 2024, the two bands decided to combine their approaches on a split LP. A split record between bands with distinct but overlapping aesthetics is a specific format: each band brings their own side, the listener gets a document of two acts operating in parallel, and the combination produces a record that is more than the sum of two separate releases. The Het Pact title, which translates to The Pact, makes the collaborative framing explicit. This is a formal agreement between two bands to share a record and a shared vision of what heavy music can do when the right acts commit to working together on a single physical release.
Consouling Sounds and the Belgian Underground
Consouling Sounds operates out of Belgium and has built a catalog around heavy, experimental, and drone-adjacent music from the European underground. Their releases are pressed in limited numbers and distributed through specialty channels for an audience that follows the label’s curatorial choices closely. Het Pact fits the Consouling Sounds profile precisely: two underground bands, a split format, a specific color variant, and a visual identity built around the misty bog aesthetic that the vinyl color reinforces in a concrete and considered way.
Misty Bog Color Vinyl
The pressing is on Misty Bog colored vinyl, a specific compound color designation that Consouling Sounds applies carefully to their releases. For collectors tracking Consouling Sounds, this is a 2024 split LP on a custom color variant with a limited press run reflecting the label’s standard approach to the collector market.
