Review:
Hunter
Gatherer is a Sludge/Doom/Stoner/Avant Garde/Noise-Rock/Shoegaze
Collective who have just released a stunning and bleak as hell S/T
album which will send chills down your spine. It's not your usual
Sludge/Doom Metal album as it has a very experimental feel to it. It
kind of reminds of a slower paced version of SANNHET.
Hunter
Gatherer unleash a lot of different noises and moods on this album
and it's a strange and wonderful sounding bleak odyssey that manges
to capture a lot of raw human emotion. The sound can be very frentic
and lo-fi at times which is expected since the album was released on
cassette tape. It feels that the album was recorded in an old
abandoned warehouse somewhere on a desolate planet as it oozes
atmosphere you simply cannot get in a recording studio.
This
is a very hard album to review as it changes mood and atmosphere with
each song. Sure the Sludge/Doom Metal aspect is there but the band
include so many different things in their music that it can be quite
frustrating to listen to at times but you have to give the band
credit for trying something different. Check it out for yourselves as
Hunter Gatherer are giving this excellent album away for free
download on BandCamp.
Don't
say I didn't warn you.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
