After his first band, Virginia folk punk outfit The Smokin' Crows, disbanded and its members scattered across the country, multi-instrumentalist Zane Rerek relocated to the Midwest and began to focus on heavier sounds. Using the environmental destruction and haunting folklore of his native West Virginia as a backdrop, Bedlam & Squalor was born. The project draws influence from several different corners of heavy music, including the cold, frenzied soundscapes of Scandinavian Black Metal and the crushing weight of Doom. Bedlam & Squalor's debut EP, <a href="spotify:album:1o8WvioKHFr8ZlqPC1sude" data-name="The Misery of Flesh & Blood">The Misery of Flesh & Blood</a>, was released in Spring 2018. The project’s first full-length, the instrumental-only <a href="spotify:album:5vrpwSIl0EhzfOUKonIviD" data-name="Under an Indifferent Sky">Under an Indifferent Sky</a>, was released in May 2019.
