Skullflower / Mastery [coll] – [Cold Spring Records UK]

New release from Cold Spring Records.

More or less what you’d expect from Skullflower, three 7-9 minute long harsh noise tracks, but this time, more ambinet and mellow, more orchestral, yet still dragged through the mud. The whole side has a graveyard feel, and the last track is the slow fuzzing out of being buried alive.

Mastery on the other hand servves up a nice dose of noisy noise guitar feedback and hardcore raspy screams from the mind of Bay Area local Domignostika of Horn of Dagot. The sidelong track dulls down for a moment with a lush acoustic guitar stumming, but only for a minute before we get his voice again, and diving back in to the crunchy guitar madness.

Really dark, rainy day noise
