Oldd Wvrms

It's been just little over two months since i reviewed Oldd Wvrms First Release 

and it didn't take much time at all for me to review their second. It of course helps a bit when the band themseles come forward by giving me such an opportunity to share my experience and of course discover them (though I'm surprised anyone knows about my blog ahah). 

Leaving off where they did with their first release, the opening track Corrosive continues off in the same vain with powerful, piercing vocals and killer riffs. This I think right here is the theme and the driving force that gives the album it's character and oomph. The EP is not super-fancy with ultra complex sturctures or any bits of charm but it's just straight, in your face Doomy Sludge. Straight to buisness, full of attitude and ferocious just how I like it. If you like this approach to your Doom/Sludge then I think you will thoroughly enjoy this release and won't be disappointed. Here'sto hoping that Oldd Wvrms wastes no time and gets back into music writing mode.

Indian

If you have a taste for the ugly and obscene, but have yet to check out Indian, you are missing out.  This group of blackened sludge Chicagoans take crunchy, ominous riffs and apply Today Is The Day style wretches and shrieks.  Despite the sheer intensity of it all, compositions are quite catchy and not at all devoid of melody.  There has been a bit of an overhaul of line-ups between Indian and equally barbaric Lord Mantis.  Lord Mantis' frontman left/was ejected and has now formed Missing with several notable collaborators including Jeff Whitehead of Leviathan and Lurker of Chalice fame.  Meanwhile, the remaining members have shuffled with Indian to continue with the Lord Mantis moniker.  Both are poised to create some highly anticipated new material.  Indian have put out a number of albums, but my personal favorites are HERE and HERE.  That should keep you all pretty busy.
