DEADYELLOW // BOBAK

 


Every time I check in on the folks at Wet Cassettes it seems like there's something new and disgusting waiting for me. You know what I like? New and disgusting things. Unbound pairs two exceptionally raw black metal acts, fans of fidelity and/or professional sonic presentation will want to look elsewhere while the rest of us revel in the filth. BOBAK (whose The First Key tape pushed the boundaries of lo-fi USBM) offer three doses of lumbering fury - a collection of dissonant riffs trying to not stumble over manically flailing drums. Two more traditional black metal blasts from DEADYELLOW on the flip - still raw but polished by comparison. "Aporia" is a 6+ minute dirge in the classic warmarch tradition and is worth the entire cassette on its own...but you should already be covered in evil before you even get to it.
