This is the latest project of prolific musician Clint Listing (Grizzle, Long Winters Stare, As All Die, Broken Hands For Brilliant Minds, Black Depths Grey Waves), who here supplies vocals, guitars, bass, and effects, and is joined by Ryan Michalski (Cosmic Punch) who provides all lead guitar and drums. Here the duo are mixing together influenced of doom metal, post hardcore, along with industrial and electronic elements, to create something that has to be one of the most amateurish and dire recordings I have come across, for which I can’t think of anything positive at all: it honestly feels incredibly shambolic It is wonderful that these days there are facilities for bands to issue their own recordings, and for small labels to be popping up, as often they release gems, but that is not the case here. I note that there are only 300 CDs being pressed of this, and I do wonder how many of those will become coasters. Next.
