Hateful sludge bloated with the DNA of slow, stagnant doom which takes you right back to the glory days of the 90's. The atmosphere of this release is loathsome. Spiteful and repellant riffs are disfigured by serrated feedback which feels like an icepick being driven into your brain and the barking vocals are gleefully malicious, revelling at the thought of the audience being dispatched by the ensuing onslaught of heaviness. 'Eye For An Eye' isn't all low and slow however, it does occasionally combust and suppurate a noxious concoction of crust laced punk.

ANOINTING THE SICK #228 ~ Tortured Tunes, Sickening Sounds
Today, The Anointing The Sick Show cranks up your discomfort on Halo of the Goat Radio Opening and closing the show with various types of doom, I'll also be rampaging through your speakers with death, swampy blues, stoner and other extremities. As usual I'm also featuring albums you can pick up for NYP on Bandcamp and highlighting albums included in the Doom Charts over the last 12 months that you may have wishlisted or missed. The showpiece track is a 12 minute atmospheric doom/death monster by Un. I've had my weekly grub around in the filth pit and exhumed something by Horzdun

HARSH REALM ~ Death Carries On (2024)
Press play and feel your very essence devoured into the maw of The Great Beast. A coagulate of unemotional death doom encapsulated in a bloody crust.
'Death Carries On' by North Carolina's Harsh Realm is as rancid as death metal gets, slow chugging riffs contorted into even slower, flyblown breakdowns repeatedly abused by a frenzy of hostile violence.
The only boundaries Harsh Realm has stretched is how much pain you can suffer and still enjoy your punishment!

VOLUME ~ Joy Of Navigation (a trip through the eternal unknown) 2024
Originally formed in 1993 by ex-Fu Manchu singer Patrick Brink, the band on this recording features Monster Magnet guitarist Ed Mundell, drummer Mike Amster (Nebula) and production/keyboards by Dave Catching, so you could say that VOLUME is something of a Stoner Rock supergroup
'Joy of Navigation' is the band's latest album and contains five songs of immersive psychedelic stoner. The opening track 'Mercury Pull' is a real slow burner. When it first started I thought I was listening to something by Hawkwind but the celestial petals soon unfold into a Samsara Blues Experiment like stimulant, lazily dissolving into the cosmic ether before the emotion of the song dramatically changes into a ripping, heavy rocking roller coaster.
'Mercury Pull' turns out to be the calm before an extremely fierce storm of strutting, barrel chested riffs with fuzz more or less stripped away exposing a diamond hard metallic core. This enables the album to breathe and reveals the most interesting aspect of an already thoroughly absorbing record. If you listen closely, the soloing hardly ever stops. It's either in the background like incessant chatter or posturing wildly above the mayhem, often mutated by special effects pedals.
'Joy Of Navigation (a trip through the eternal unknown)' definitely hits the perfect spot, evolving from the album 'Requesting Permission To Land' which was a musical child of its time (also an essential buy) into a modern, dynamic, sonic force.
