Earlier this year, two titans of the sludge world re-arranged the structural integrity of the earth’s core by releasing this monster split.
…if you are looking for the next titan to rise from the Murder Mitten, take a close look here.
Honestly, I’m glad I don’t have to choose. I can sit back and listen to both.
There is a burning sense of ominous intent throughout the release, yet the primary emotion seems to be one of grief, fitting for a game where the primary experience is death.
To tune in to The Cheats is to encounter more than essentially a blast of flammable gen X rage, but to observe the codification of another type of melodic craftsmanship.
Think tearing yourself apart while still conscious, blood dripping, brain exposed, yeah, the death metal works.
The rest of the brief but dizzying time span of the record is spent with absolutely everything on ten from the drum machine to the incomprehensible guttural vocals.
They listen to the abnormal and love it, now they play it and revel in it.
Likely the weirdest band in the state, they’re always ready to pull a surprise out of their back pocket…
