Buzzherd's On Sinking Ships... Rats Drown is an aggressive and crusty metal record, summoned from a sweaty, mid-winter basement show. Passages of sludge and doom mix with chugging metal riffs and a punk-rock ethos throughout the 31-minute, 6-song album. Their sound is salty and dirty, and their songs hit hard.
It all starts with Abuse of Despair, a pounding track thick with growls and fuzzed out riffs. Indrid Cold follows, their most diverse song, bringing the doom, then coming in with galloping thrash-metal riffs before slowing down again. Next up is The Maloik - a pounding and wonderfully crusty metal track that slows down to a crawling finish.
Up next is Stakes and Snares starts slow, but with a massive sound, coming in with a howling intro that leads into marching thrash metal heavy on the fuzz. Gigas flows from aggressive start to a mellow, bluesy bridge, finally picking the metal back up at the end. Buzzherd finishes the album with a killer cover of Black Flag's Six Pack.
This record is full of grit and deserves your time if you're into punk, thrash or sludge. Go and check this album out on bandcamp and give some love to these beer-swilling, self-described "future tony winners".
