Swamp Goat
Bio:
Known
to behold vast sound expanses, HULL maximizes harmony and tone within
one monstrous palate. Upon your brow, focus, as a furious whip of
intermingling guitars propel you through the atmosphere as a low
pulse resonates through your entire being while the pounding drums
blanket all chasms of reality. Find yourself immersed in a musical
tide as it is played out before your ears beyond the lightless sky.
HULL
materializes as a massive entity storming stages and immersing their
audiences in a blanket of grandiose down-tuned compositions. A
shifting fault line of decibel heavy harmony, this collective force
converges in a collision of thrash, doom, classic rock, and formal
orchestral works. HULL commands their listeners through each riff
with incredible precision, as a seafarer guides vessels through
ominous waters. Submerged in cosmic soundscapes, HULL challenges the
mind with flowing, off-time fugues and powerful, dynamic movements.
Brace yourself for an onslaught of eruptive force as a new world of
music is formed in the deafening clap of thunder that is HULL.

Review:
Today
it is my privilege to check out Brooklyn, New York based Doom act
HULL’s 7 inch “The Legend Of Swampgoat”
For
those uninformed or new to the band this is an older track from the
band being pressed to vinyl posthumously. In 2007 while working on
their debut “Sole Lord” the song was born but left on the shelves
only to be resurrected 7 years later and Its a fine display of heavy.
Snare
rolls and cleverly places acoustic guitars open the track to a wall
of sound that brings you to one of the nicest doom grooves you’ve
ever heard.
Harmony
and vocal layering are a dominant part of this track with the 3
vocalists intertwining seamlessly. All
of this finds a nice home with some good ole stoner doom groove
guitar riffage. For being an early track and theoretical b-side it at
no point feels like a band in its early stages of development it’s
a brilliantly laid out & flawlessly executed doom jam.
In
an age of duplicate style acts and basically mindless cloning of what
others before have done these New Yorkers encompassing all the great
things about Sabbath/doom psychedelia while bringing a new lease on
life to the genre via vocal harmony and clever musicianship HULL have
no doubt carved their own path through the sea of sameness.
Fans
of doom/sludge shouldn’t sleep on this one!
The
band has released the single via Iron Orchestra Works & MidniteCollective. You can order the 7 inch vinyl in a handful of different
colors on their Bandcamp page
Until
next time…
