Fuck yes. This brutal
swath of noise-encrusted, distortion-pedalled, mic-destructed
industrial-cum-black-metal is just what I needed. Vocals bound
between growled and outright pained on opener "Sergio Leone" as an
overpowering, tribal drum rhythm interacts with guitar feedback to
produce an all-out eruption. It's an outright caustic and detonable
affair,
draping itself over a hearty eight minute duration. More typical
wizardry is abuzz on three-minute noise-metal blast "Abuira," but
it's the final card, the aptly-named "To Armageddon," that truly caps
matters off in style. An ominous bass drum and bell twinkle lets one
know that all havoc is about to break loose, as it does when the
listener is dropped into a furnace of maudlin vocals, scissoring
beat carnage, and visceral noise; the discordant keyboard
whirs are a nice touch. Don't think for a second that this isn't a
depraved, vicious whale of an EP; Rotorvator's brief opus is
the most hellish behemoth of a record I've heard in a long while.
