A Hocht

by Slomatics

supported by

Sonny92 Slow, hulking doom that's as heavy as a herd of mammoths being pursued by a gang of sumo wrestlers in steamrollers. Unfortunately not as awesome a release as subsequent album, Estron, but a decent enough warm-up for that record.

Lidgefrid Slomatics are one of the finest doom outfits around today. Their riffs are thick, low and slow, and everything is pulled off with an atmosphere and intelligence that belies the brutish nature of the band's ultra-heavy approach. With the odd psychedelic leaning, A Hocht encompasses all that and more. Favorite track: Beyond Acid Canyon.

steve Primordial noise.The tub-thumping of mammoth bones on hollow Redwoods,a monstrous swamp-thing of a riff disintegrating as it gathers pace;imploding in a halting,crystalline refrain that seems destined to drift into the quiet void,only for that riff to return to Godzilla-stomp you into submission.
It's for moments such as these I cleave to 'heavy' music. Favorite track: Beyond Acid Canyon.

A miserable, euphoric, atmospheric, melancholic, melodic, bone-shaking avalanche. Hike to a misty waterfall valley in Iceland with this in your headphones, and switch between screaming in futile rage from the mountaintop, and sobbing silently at your own reflection in the surface of the lake below. Inimitable. warmhotself
