Last year, they released Pulling the Wool, and I regret I missed out as long as I did. If youre looking for some simple genre classification, good luck with that, the best I can do is call it Heavy Metal for you. If you want to hear how sludge sounds after some cooking in the merciless sunlight of the southern hemisphere, this crew has a large helping of Primordial Soup ready to fill your ears. ![]() The vocalistbassist does a great job of handling the high and low, while the drums shift nimbly between energetic emphasis and keeping things grounded, with a move towards the heavier end of things in the back half of the album. Theres plenty of riffs that sound simultaneously familiar and new, with the tune-turned ear of the band balancing out the more violent tendencies they might have drawn from their influences, with one of the more upbeat tracks being Told You So, which works the title in as a looping chorus before letting the guitarist rip into a tasty line of shredding youd be hard-pressed to find coming from the more misery-soaked musical groups. ![]() With a solid line-up of 9 full-bodied tracks, and a grip thats unwilling to fully let go of the grimy side of sludge, the new album packs a focused punch of head-banging rhythms at a tempo that keeps the momentum in motion.
