Sludge Creeps CHAT PILE + Avant-Garde Artist HAYDEN PEDIGO Dropped Surprising Album ‘IN THE EARTH AGAIN’ Today
31 October 2025
CHAT PILE the clamorous and out-of-their-minds sludge/metal creeps from Oklahoma
and Texas-born avant-garde musician, politician and performance artist HAYDEN PEDIGO have teamed up for a most surprising album. Talking about a bizarre collaboration.
Album: IN THE EARTH AGAIN
Stereogum (and other mainstream music websites) had the opportunity
to listen to the record for a week now and they have this to say:
“In The Earth Again is a staggering achievement that makes sense within each artist’s discography, even as it stands out as an adventurous outlier for both acts. It’s a flavor combination on par with salted caramel or dipping fries in your Frosty, though the
outcome here is often more bitter than sweet.
I just heard the album 2 hours ago and I say: WTF. Don’t get fooled by the fact that Mike Meyers is pictured on the LP’s cover and that the record is released today, on Halloween. This is everything you wouldn’t have expected. It’s ACE!
