Description

“This Bristol-birthed sludge fest has a fetish for atmosphere… “Blackflower” is filled with unexpected moments, the entrance of strings being one. It becomes hard to tell at times what are string melodies countering the guitars and what are effected guitars. This lends itself to create a richly layered romanticism that falls short of goth due to it’s crusty crunch. At other moments, the “Times of Grace”-era Neurosis influence is glaring. The vocals take on a burly bellow, possessing more anguish than the typical sludge bark. Sonance is often sonically heavier than they are metal. ” – Cvlt Nation
