BLACK GROOVE ~ Low End Scum (2024)

 Black Groove is a four piece band from the South Coast of England. Their new album, 'Low End Scum' due for a release on 2nd Feb 2024, contains seven tracks of sluggish, de tuned, sludge caked hatred that follows the sewered path of the likes of Iron Monkey and Grief. Flinch from barbaric riffs steeped in bile, cower under the weight of  doom spread about this album like foul matter. As with all bad news, 'Low End Scum'  draws you in, the allure of being increasingly horrified by the next track proving irresistible and Black Groove do not disappoint, ladling layer after layer of  feculence from one sickening song to the next.

ANOINTING THE SICK #199 ~ Bloodstained, Hope Drained

Tonight, Anointing The Sick continues it's gory goings on on Halo Of The Goat Radio. I'm highlighting albums from 2023 that deserve your attention, in particular lots from the Ripple stable of bands. Sludgelord Records also makes a contribution with bands that wallow at the bottom of the filth pit. I have lots of NYP albums that you can investigate incase you missed them the first time and once again, The Doom Charts remains a valuable source of records that you should be owning.

LACRA ~ Denial (2023)

When you've been immersed in underground metal for a long time, there are certain areas of the globe that hold a special place above all others. For me, Finland rules the roost when it comes to old school doom/death, The UK revels in hateful, noisy sludge with Iron Monkey being ground zero, while  Italy dominates the occult, 70's style doom sound. Throw Chile in the equation for some of the heaviest sludge/doom around championed by bands such as Sangria, Bicefalo and Ocultum. Now you can add Lacra to that esteemed list. The EP  'Denial' clocks in at around 25 minutes of some of the heaviest music out there, with riffs that, if they were human, would be categorised as morbidly obese. There are no rules being broken here, throughout the EP the band never deviates from its path of total destructive inertia. Crushing is a word used way too often to describe the heaviest of songs but I can't think of  a better word to describe the overwhelming mass of sound grinding you into the dirt.

LUNG ~ Volume (2023)

I write this shrouded in a heady smog of stoner doom worship, eyes and throat burning on smouldering, weed drenched riffs. The sound is gloriously expansive but the sludge influence radiates an atmosphere of suffocating toxicity, thick and choking. Volume by lung is a glimpse into the mind of the  junkie's final 'trip' to inevitable burnout.

WARCRAB ~ The Howling Silence (2023)

The devastatingly heavy new album by Warcrab. An unstoppable mix of rampaging death metal fused with thick sludge creating a morass of lawless rage. There are seven intense tracks on The Howling Silence, thickset deathsludge riffs that require restraint in a straitjacket before they cause irreparable damage, mixed with dense weighty (im)pure sludge. 

The final track 'Howling Silence' clocks in at over ten minutes. Now I love long tracks providing it's reasonably varied but far too often I end up disappointed because most of them peter out halfway through in a mash up of ambient nonsense. Not this track. It starts off slowly but progresses into a monstrous example of how to mould various genres of extreme metal into a single fearsome entity.

For fans of: Bolt Thrower, Crowbar, Eyehategod, 71TonMan, The Dead
