Blue Sabbath Black Cheer & The Rita – “S/t” – [Debacle Records]

cinder   7/20/2012   A Library, CD

The way the album starts, you’d think it’d be titled Burning Witches. Over twenty minutes of what sounds like burning, hissing, crackling flames. Evil terror lurks in those fumes. Not overbearing or harsh at all, almost soothing in its destruction. Subtle electronics weave in and out like daggers with rusty blades. It almost flows seamlessly into track 2, which is the cool down. Midnight in town’s square, the corpses are left to shame, wind blowing and ashes floating. Murky waters tide in halfway through. This album is definitely a field recording for me, rich visuals to be had. BSBC self described as Black Acid Noise Doom Drone Hate, from Seattle. The Rita is a one-man torture from Vancouver, BC.
