ALBUM PREMIERE: Boston sludge/post metal titans Cazador debut “FAILURE TO THRIVE"


One of the best kept secrets in the Boston underground scene (and we all know how fucking awesome that scene is) CAZADOR have been dishing out their sonic brew to audiences in New England since 2015.  Blending a thick and gloomy sludge atmosphere with the melody and urgency of post-metal and hardcore, this act has begun to emerge as one of the more unique and raw up-and-coming sludge acts.  I guess it goes without saying upon listening to their music that major influences include the post-metal/sludge titans of Isis and Neurosis, however what differs them from other derivative acts in the genre is their fusion with the melodic hardcore sensibilities of such luminaries as Deftones and Poison the Well.

Upon the release of their studio debut BROKEN SUN” in May 2017, and a subsequent tour of the Northeast and Midwest, CAZADOR made themselves known as a quietly charismatic collective with an emotional edge through their impassioned, high-energy performances.  With their new full-length titled FAILURE TO THRIVE readied for release on July 12th, the collective is very much looking forward to the future while expanding their sonic horizons and sharing their unique brand of emotionally charged sludge with the masses. 
According to the band, the new LP reflects a sublime focus on the natural human negativity bias that forces us all to cope with the slow-burning decay of our world by the minute.  FAILURE TO THRIVE” includes lyrics filled with anger and resilience juxtaposed with lush and solemn compositions combined to create melancholic anthems for a new generation of the jaded. FAILURE TO THRIVE” will be released on July 12th, 2019, so go ahead and dive into the album below with our exclusive album stream.  Turn it up loud and let your speakers die!!
