Bio:
It
all started in Austria back in 2009, when three longtime buddies gave
up playing in separate bands and began creating music together. Just
half a year later they released their first, self-titled EP, followed
by a tour right across Germany.
Before
starting work on their debut album 'Bound To Gravity', the three
Austrians devoted a bit of time to their other individual projects.
Hans-Peter Ganner played concerts with his other band 'Sahara
Surfers', whilst guitarist Amadeus Mader wrote solo music (some of
which featured on an advert for Adidas). Mathias Magerle furthered
his career as a music producer.
After
that, the guys went into HOME's own studio to get the album done,
supervised by their own drummer. In contrast to modern 'Pro-Tools'
albums they decided to record the album live and without a metronome.
The aim was to get an organic, raw and heavy sound.
HOME
have never really been bothered about being labeled as a Sludge or
Post Hardcore band. On that note, you could also mention their slight
tendencies to Math Core or their Stoner Rock influence. Whatever, as
long as its heavy! Are you bound to gravity too?!

Review:
Here is another album
that has came out of nowhere and blown my whole world apart. HOME is
an Austrian Sludge/Stoner/Noise/Post-Hardcore style band who are a
band you need to check out now.
Their debut album –
Bound To Gravity – is a loud and violent wall of noise that is
packed full of anger and plenty of menace but still with heavy slabs
of Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs to chew on. First track – Hole –
feels like you're being kicked to the head over and over again. It's
a heavy and powerful raw angry number that will soon get you into the
mood of unleashing all that pent-up anger and aggression upon to the
world.
HOME play very fast
indeed. They never slow down for a second as they have a High On Fire
style of intensity. Well imagine if High On Fire included Noise Rock
into their classic sound and that's what you get with this album.
Intense Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs that stays pissed off through out
the album.
HOME destroy everything
in their wake with the excellent tracks they have on offer here.
Check out – “No Way Out, My Friend”, “Burlesque”, “Kyoto”
and the brilliant 9 minute epic “Dead City”.
Dead City is definitely
the album's stand out track as it shows HOME can play slow-paced
melodies and riffs before unleashing some heavy sonic warfare into
the mix. This track is worth it for the download alone. Trust me
when I say that Dead City makes Bound To Gravity a brilliant and
highly powerful album indeed.
The album is expertly
produced as you can hear every dangerous riff to loud shattering
perfection. This is an intense experience you won't easily forget.
Bound To Gravity is an
album you need to listen to now. It's fucking amazing. Plain and
Simple. Get downloading this now as HOME have this available for free
download from BandCamp and Sound Zero Records. If you want to own a
physical copy then please buy from here and here.
