Repeated distorted low riffs, combined with varying hard rock grooves make for a great setting of a void.
A while back, I personally got to sit down with a great band out of Denver, Colorado called Khemmis.
There is a heavy presence in every song, like that feeling of longing when you are missing someone who will never be there any more.
An audiohorrorlove story, “Violate And Control” is an exercise of the former, the central, and the latter. In one sonic novel.
Every song is a representation of Goatwhore and what they’ve done in the past, showing their vast evolution as a band over this 20 years.
Beyond This World’s Illusions is a beast called to life by this passion. Both anguished and terrifying, the creature moves of its own accord, drawing the listener along in its wake.
The band combines elements of Stockholm death metal with grindcore to create a stew of nastiness from which I can’t help but repeatedly partake.
This split release is another cog in the essential Cloud Rat machine. The Crevasse side is a revelation. The band has gained a new fan.
Chachi is quite literally the band that introduced me to the underground and the DIY ethic as more than just an acronym.
