Even the cover of Wolverine Blues at the end, in all of its roughly recorded glory, has a raw power. Though a compilation of two early EPs for this band, this release is still well worthy of your time. Hints of 80s hardcore punk come to mind in the manner of attack. They wield their instruments like weapons, attacking the listener. Be warned…Įfflorescent Graveyards shows a young band already at the height of their powers. I’m not sure what their songwriting process is, but they combine the pieces cohesively, while leaving enough rough edges to hack and gash the listener. On drums, pounding the skins with power, precision, and flair, is Teo Ch. That belligerent growl you hear abusing your ear drums? That’s Miltos Pa. Gomgoma consists of Billy Ch and James Mo on guitars, who seem to be able to handle stoner riffs and dissonant destruction equally well. It makes sense that there is a caustic variety here, as this release is both the Medicine Apophthegms EP and the Civilized Punks EP combined, though both originally dropped in 2015. One one excellent and memorable track (among a compilation full of memorable and excellent tracks), the Greek quarter presents twenty four minutes of rhythmic feedback and noise. At other times, nihilistic sludge, along the lines of Primitive Man, sucks all the air out of the atmosphere. Sometimes, an arrogant groove makes an appearance. The wall in question is a pieced together nightmare, as if built over time in multiple different constructions. Suffer the Incubus is a massive wall of animosity. Press play to see for yourself, then drop below for my full album review. The track is a sweat drenched celebration of visceral oblivion. The live footage feels slightly off, creating a sense of discomfort as you listen and watch. In bleak grays and sepia tones, the video for Suffer the Incubus captures the dystopian feel of the track perfectly.
