Review:
Its
a drab thunderstorm filled day here in Dayton ,OH New York
Doom
and sludge is kind of in the middle of a growth spurt so to speak, with a ton
of new artists immersing themselves within that grime and glow of cellars,
prisons and forgotten places. With every
rebirth there is the dreaded “Multiplicity” effect, where in one copy is
slightly worse than the previous. But
before you get all pissed at me, HUSH isn’t one of those copies.
‘Unexist’ is a brilliant sludge opus, sure
there are hints of Neurosis, Isis and even Unearthly Trance, but those
influences merely play a part of their sound and not much more. ‘Solus’
kicks open the doors and takes you right along with it for the next 47
minutes. The vocals stand out on this release;
this is fury, irritation & asperity.
You take that flame then hit it with the massive wall of guitars &
you have perfection.
‘Infinite
Recursion’ is a stand out track that hits an ambience that is a hint of relief
in the mood of the record as a whole, only to slam back in your face with
sledgehammer force. I would equate the
record to free falling from a mountain while hitting every tree and rock on
your way down. Just when you think you’ve hit the bottom where solace holds you
in its nest, the limb breaks and your descent continues. No worries you will
climb back up and take the beating over and over again as I have for the past
week.
Hush’s
‘Unexist’ is a stellar doom release and any fan of the genre is missing a
choice cut if they don’t grab this!
