Raw and exquisite agony…
Suffered on your behalf by Jason Guest and released through Iron Bonehead Productions (Website; Facebook) on 16 December 2016
Shrouded in reverb, the atmospheric guitar that opens ‘…Part I’ of this EP is haunting, an icy chill settling in before black metal bile and bitterness charges forth and promptly takes the track into the next room, shuts the door, and obliges us to listen from afar. Atmospheric passages, discordant and jarring riffs, tortured screams and maniac howls, and raucous drumming reverberate in the lo-fi wind-tunnel production and make for a harrowing experience. Raw to its core and black to its belly, the cacophony that fills the blackened air of the two tracks here is filthy, foul and futile. Somewhere in the mist and the murk and the toxic malevolence are two tracks that burn beautifully. Exquisite agony.
