The crushing weight
of a world ending, a desolate hallucinatory trip through dystopia
The Low-Down:
Kurokuma
are a weird as hell Doom/Sludge Metal band from Sheffield, UK. I saw
these guys opening up for H A R K / Ken Mode on their recent joint UK
Tour. Kurokuma impressed the hell out of me as their music verges on
Avant-Garde/Experimental Rock with violent slabs of Doom and Sludge
Metal being used just for the sheer hell of it.
Imagine
a more fucked up and crazier version of early Mastodon with vibes of
The Melvins and Mr Bungle appearing here and there for one complete
head-fuck experience. That's the only way I can describe them. You
should see these guys live on stage as they're even more crazier
though with a menacing and intriguing stage presence. It's a good job
that Kurokuma have a Soundcloud page so you can witness this damn
craziness for yourself.
OK,
the band only offer two tracks but don't blame me that I didn't warn
you for one crazy as hell ride. 18.2 Tons and Ursus Thibetanus –
proves that Kurokuma have the potential to be something special
within the UK Doom/Sludge Metal scene. All they need now is to
release a debut EP or Album of some kind. As I really want to see
what Kurokuma can do with a proper release of some sort.
Kurokuma
– are a band you all need to check out now. Even if you hate them
just give them a listen to fuck up your entire world for 12 mins or
so. What's the harm in that!!!
