Blackened lysergic dirge equal parts Godflesh, Blut Aus Nord, and Amenra. I was somehow completely unaware of this stuff until about a week ago but I think they might be my new favorite band.
Also kinda reminds me of C R O W N before C R O W N started sounding like Depeche Mode.
Fucked up ugly sludge-core from Boston MA circa 2009. I'm guessing that these guys are no relation to the Dread from Rockland MA that was around when I was a kid, but they do seem to feature at least one member of the almighty Upsidedown Cross... Overall vibe here reminds me of Indian/ Lord Mantis/ Buried At Sea topped off with vocals that sound like Seth Putnam having his scalp peeled back with a belt sander.
Pretty fucking killer.
Oddball sludge/ doom shot through with weird samples, cartoon SFX, and pulsating glorps of demented electronic noise... Imagine Fantômas "Suspended Animation" as reinterpreted by "Blotter" era Nightstick and you might have a vague approximation of just how terminally fucking weird this album is.
If I’m being honest this track kind of loses me when the vocal falls into that weird almost hip hop cadence at the end (it’s not even poorly done, it just feels super out of whack with the rest of the track), but up to that point this is pretty fucking phenomenal. Almost sounds like Chelsea Wolfe or the chick from Made out of Babies fronting a dubbed out SWANS. Looking forward to hearing how the full album plays out when it comes out tomorrow.
A swirling maelstrom of dissonant/ abstract black metal, dark ambient, drone doom, and noise being inexorably drawn toward the light-devouring maw of a supermassive black hole... I totally missed this album when it was released right at the ass end of last year, but I've been listening non-stop since I stumbled across it about a month ago.
Monolithically heavy UK prog/ sludge. Equal parts Melvins, Iron Monkey, and Buzzov*en with some definite nods in the direction of The Jesus Lizard, Unsane, King Crimson, and, if I can make what is sure to be the most bafflingly obscure reference you've probably ever heard: Jumbo's Killcrane.
Killer vocals on this album too, for whatever that's worth to anyone.
"Surprise.... I feel like shit again today."
No really, I woke up feeling like crap today. Back in a day or two hopefully.
