Review:
Merdarahta
are a band who I have featured many times on the blog now. If you
don't know who they are, they are a haunting noise, doom, ambient
based drone metal band featuring members of Fuck The Facts, Winters
In Osaka, The Sun Through A Telescope, Mekhaya and Black Oak Decline.
The
main architect of this nightmarish collective its Topon Das. One of
my all-time fave extreme metal musicians who I am a huge fan of. Read
my interview with Topon here.
But
this is about Merdarahta and their latest release – Solar Pulse. A
haunting and violent 11 minute offering featuring some of the
heaviest and most disturbing drone based doom metal sounds from
Merdarahta so far. It's very slow-paced but even I don't feel brave
enough to tell Merdarahta to speed things up a bit.
If
you're a fan of Sunn 0))) and BONG then you're going to be in your
element here. How Merdarahta have managed to include all those epic
scary as hell noises and still make them sound strangely addictive is
beyond me. I am here just for the brutal and haunting experience
alone.
Merdarahta
have released a few EP's over the years which I am a huge fan of. I
think it maybe time for Merdarahta to finally release a proper
full-length record to fuck-up the world with. I think we deserve one
now as Merdarahta are a fucked-up collective that I want the whole
world to experience. Then again maybe the world isn't ready for
Merdarahta to unleash hell on earth. Until then I will wait for the
next instalment of Merdarahta dark brooding and unforgiving sonic
experience.
Solar
Pulse is available to buy now/download on BandCamp now. Along with
all their other excellent releases.
