Press releases are always interesting; if they are very long, then the music is usually not interesting and if the author of the text searches in vain for the right words, then the music is interesting. This is what happened with the Danish band "Dying Hydra" and their latest single "Grasping Stone". Sludge means in this case the slowness of the song and the growls. So much for melodic sludge which was mentioned in the press text; there are so many different styles in this song, be it doom, a bit of Hardcore breaks or a bit of powerful metal guitars. The sound is actually more metal than sludge with its typical sloshing guitars. At the beginning the singing sounds a lot like Morne, which changes over the course of the song into a more mantra-like, drawn-out incantation. I really look forward for the whole release and to see this band on stage. Great song.
