One-man funeral sludge metal project from Salem, Oregon, USA. Not to be confused with the NWOBHM band of the same name.
Direct assault with abrasive bricks to the face, covered in high grit sandpaper. One after another, in a steady repeated rhythm. Until the final quarter of the song - then it lets loose, kicking up the speed and crushing with cinderblocks instead.
Fuck yea, Hell is awesome
Indeed
The more I listen to this, the more I appreciate it. “Hevy” has definitely earned a place in the “Favorites 2025” playlist.
Black and red, it’s such a powerful palette. The artist, Blial Cabal, also did the artwork for MSW - Obliviosus, Hell and MSW are both by the same artist, and it was MSW that brought me do this record.
As for the album itself, I’d pick Gravis, Factum, and Bog. But the whole thing is an experience, sometimes I feel like picking certain tracks from an album is disingenuous, so I just end up listening to the whole thing, like god intended. (or satan :P)
Yea I wanted to mention the artist’s name but felt it needed to be an even shorter description, so I left it out. Nice to know he released other stuff under his own initials!
Typically, for my own uploads, I only stick to one track (usually a favorite or a showcase item) as I feel most people just drop a link to an album and don’t say anything. I try to describe it and why I love it and generally I try to respect people’s time. There are times where a release is high quality thoughout or short enough to warrant a recommendation for the whole thing, but those are rare times as I, myself, am quite picky, and have weird taste (at least I feel lol.)
I also look forward to what others have to say about the track/album/artist and love engaging from there! So thank you for the recommendations for the other tracks, despite me picking the one! :D
Ohhh you recommended the first track only XD For some reason I thought that post recommended the whole album! Yeah I also feel the need to describe why I like this track/album/artist I like to talk about stuff, so I’m always happy when someone else wants to talk about stuff.
Well I must say, it’s really nice that you respect people’s time! I don’t know, but in the last three months, I’ve started to look more into full albums, instead of single tracks. But a lot of single tracks got me to albums, they’re sorta like a taste, like “Yes we’ve worked on this whole work, would you like a taste?” I personally try to get my metal whenever I can, on my daily commute for example, the sun has just risen and I’ve always found it a bit funny that I’d start my day with metal. Anyway, so I do that, I listen to albums on my way. Sometimes I do that before sleep, or even in the bathroom. My poor ears, oh they don’t get a break :)
Well I must say though, listening to a single track is like watching a single episode from a TV show, or hearing a quote from a book, so I always gotta hunt for the full experience.
Uhh about the album, it’s good, like I really wish I could say more about it, but I’m not really familiar with the genre, but it seems nice, I’ll be staying :)
Haha awesome! The world needs more metal injected into it, I feel! >:D Like a shot in the arm, or a spin in the circle-pit lol. But yes as you describe - I am exactly just giving a sample, a taste, a whiff, a morsel. Tantalizing and drawing in. At least if the artwork don’t grab you, maybe the music will! (“you” in general lol).
Haha “a taste, a whiff, a morsel” i love that
