The cover artwork represents the opposite of the music; Poland´s answer to Neurosis put out "Saviour´s Raft", a massive appetizer for their upcoming album. This band added a bit more atmospheric parts and their focus is more to combine contradictory musical styles instead of destroying musical and harmonic structures as Neurosis celebrate since almost 40 years. Sunnata are an obvious candidate for the upcoming Roadburn Festival 2024.
Not only the almighty Rugby Team is called All Blacks, King Cruel´s music is even blacker and more powerful than all the All Black; a sheer monster of Doom, Sludge, Crust and other grinding sounds.
Finally.. One of my absolutely favorite bands released an album after a long break. I was really excited to read the announcement that Morne will release "Engraved with Pain" on November 3rd on Metal Blade Records. Bang!
