Seattle noise makers Into The Storm
have returned with their latest effort, “Where
the Merfalo Roam”. The album which will be
released on November 11th via Alive and Breathing Records,
is a complex album containing ten compositions that have been painstakingly
pieced together riff by riff. Fans of Baroness,
Mastodon and Pelican should
appreciate this album since it captures the essence of those bands at times,
but also contains its own unique flavour. For example, the first half of
the song “Maturin” contains a brass section and then
shifts to noisy blasts of heavy for the remainder of the song. There’s
even some honky-tonk, chicken pickin’ to be found in “Truck Van Trailer” hidden near the end of the sludge infused
chaotic riffing. In conclusion, Into the Storm have
created their most progressive and impressive work to date since their
inception in 2010.
Today at The Sludgelord we can
offer you a taste of this monstrous record in the form of new video for the
track “Maths”, which is undoubtedly one
of the album highlights . My calculations
are that this track is a stonewall face melter.
