FRESH MEAT FRIDAY: March 27th, 2020

3/27/2020

0 Comments

 
Every Friday, a wagon arrives at the Sleeping Village’s gates, stuffed to the brim with our sustenance for the following week. Today is the day we must offload all this new music, and so, in the process, we thought it would be worthwhile to share some of our choice picks from this veritable mass of fresh meat. This is what we’ll be listening to today here at the Village HQ. We hope you join us in doing so!
On the docket for today, March 27th, 2020:
Wake, Chrome Ghost, Lord Buffalo, and Unholy Desecration

Picture
Lord Buffalo - Tohu Wa Bohu (Blues Funeral Recordings)

Anyone who follows my personal taste knows that I'm a sucker for Blues Funeral's offerings, and this is no different--albeit a stark turn in genre direction. Rather than peddling thunderous riffage, Tohu Wa Bohu successfully harnesses the landscape of the west, alongside a deep tradition of folk and Americana. Lord Buffalo inject their sophomoric effort with a dark, gothic, and otherwise moody energy, like unto, perhaps, a ghost town at dawn. Psychedelic blues tramp over windswept plains. Tohu Wa Bohu is equal parts morbid and comforting--that perfect place lurking, inexplicably, between comfort and unease. In a word? Haunting. Skeletal. Gorgeous. Recommended.

Unholy Desecration - Unholy Horde (Confused Records)

You know what we all need in times like these? Yeah, that's right: blacken'd death metal.  Bloodthirsty Texans Unholy Desecration get down and dirty, providing the goods in spades. Riddled with technical flourishes and melodic undercurrents, Unholy Horde primarily exudes that which we seek--namely, a ripping good time. Everything here is designed, it seems, to paint a picture of hell, from the beastial and militaristic effects, to the pure larynx-shredding enacted in the pursuit of deliciously torturous vocals. While I do wish the guitar tone was a little fuller to fully maximize the brutality of the riffage these guys lay down, I’m nonetheless quite happy to let this one keep on spinning.
