This is one hell of unique sounding band. In this era of how music is starting to stagnate and bands just copy and mimic each other rather than crafting their own identity, listening to the band is like climbing out of your six foot deep grave. Crushed under the weight of dirt, but refreshing to get out of that tomb.
The band's style is a unique take on Black Metal, infused with Post Metal leanings you might hear on Neurosis a but, sprinkled with Sludgy goodness and a Post-Punk influence that they're not afraid to show off. Savage Gold isn't their debut but the album has been long anticipated, after gaining some notoriety in the underground. In fact, Decibel Magazine described the band's album as the most anticipated album in 2014. That tag, with the amount of bands that the journalists at Decibel Magazine has to listen, carries A LOT of significance for this band.
This one of the tracks from the album. Trippy video clip. This is like Post-Black Metal on acid. Maybe that's how they get their uniqueness? ;)
While for some of us, we might not be able to get their album directly, you can always check out their tracks on spotify. Their other albums are on it and it's a great alternative rather than just downloading it illegally. At least the band gets some advertising revenue from the streaming service. Keep the money flowing for our favourite bands, and we get to hear more of them.
