Blackened Sludge
Apr 24, 2013
II is pretty much what I thought it would be... 40 minutes or so of ugly, foul blackened sludge. Only instead of 6-7 tracks they crafted two 20 minute double-epics, tossing in some groovy psychedelia to boot. Rawr.

Both songs can be streamed (in separate locations annoyingly), The Void Settlers on their bandcamp, and Elements Of Doom on Cvlt Nation.

I've decided that this album is on par with Abyssal's recent effort, if not just a smidgen better. Truly outstanding work here, and to top it off (and to agree with just about everyone who's commented on the artwork), goddamn that is some fine artwork.

Turns out they aren't the first band to use this incredible artwork:



(really nice sounding death metal too). Would like to find out who the artist is.

[edit]

Apparently it's Otto Dix's The War (1929-1932). He's done some fantastic artwork.

coool, their first album is fairly awesome as well. Still need to get this new one though, as I am guessing at its goodness

For some reason, the background of this album reminds me of a Reverend Bizarre album, but slightly sludgier. Great album.

Nothing exciting or unique here, but some epic sludge doom indeed.

Wow, I think I actually prefer this over their debut. This is intense, meaty stuff.

Excellent. Much better than it's predecessor which I found to be rather uninteresting.
