One of Prison Tatt Records very latest releases and a very
unique addition to my collection this LP lives up to the titles description as
The Communion blend early true 90’s
sludge Eyehategod/Acid Bath/Seven Foot Spleen/Noothgrush with the modern twist
of Seven Sisters of Sleep and Integrity stirring up a stampede of shrieking
anti-social/anti-PC lyrics with a crust metal texture, doomy blaring chords,
and early grind obliteration reminiscent of early Napalm Death/Deviated
Instinct/Cripple Bastards.
If, like myself, you’re now completely nauseated and
repulsed by the continual stream of crossover bands and sludge clones, but
can’t help but still love those styles from their original days, then pick up
The Communion!!!! You’ll get the right fix for the right sounds and feel, minus
the gimmicks and piggy backing that too many bands and labels thrive on these
days. Another plus to this is that there’s no Eyehategod or Neurosis worship,
just blast beats and swells of distortion and REAL angst…and the frequent
Crowbar downtuned riff crushing down like a crane falling on your head. Just check out the audio samples on the
PTR page and you’ll hear the definite Seven Foot Spleen classic and true sludge
sound on “Gash Ladder” and the more blast beat oriented thick sonic assault of “Rabid
Bats”.
