-(16)- is an iconic, heavy as a boulder sludge metal band from San Diego, California that formed in 1991 and has since become known as one of the subgenre's seminal outfits.

'Into Dust', the newest offering, drops November 18th on Relapse Records (vinyl / CD / dig) & Knife Hits Records (cassette).

Cassette variant info:

Limited edition cassette with two different color variants (Deep Green & Smoke).
Limited to 100 copies. Ships with digital download code.
50 Deep Green
50 Smoke


The new album, a collection of cautionary tales of survival and redemption, is set to an amalgamation of sludge, punk, metal, hardcore, and stoner riffs, that could only be built through 30 years of commitment to their dark sonic craft, which -(16)- continues to improve upon.
