Rotting Civilisation

Rotting Civilisation is the debut album by British punk rock band Septic Tank. The album was released on 13 April 2018 through Rise Above Records. In an interview with Blabbermouth, Dorrian said:

"We talked about doing it again many times, but it took us 20 years to make a record. Black Sabbath were doing their so-called last-ever show in Birmingham and Scott wanted to come over for that, so I suggested we got together and did an album while he was here. He stayed over for five days. 14 of the songs were already roughly written but not rehearsed, another eight or so came up on the spot and were recorded straight away, and that was it. It took us over 20 years but I'm really happy we did it."^[4]
