PILLARS OF ASH

 

Four harsh doses of mid-decade Midwestern bl(e)ak metal from PILLARS OF ASH. This instantly hits me like the early days of Crepusculo Negro with a tinge of punk/grind influenced '90s USBM...minus the melody and nuance. Sixteen minutes of unbridled sonic hatred and ferocity. "Koost Amojan" hits just fucking right this morning, especially when the vocalist sounds like he's trying to scream through a throat filled with bile around the 1:52 mark.
