Bloodiest - Descent (2011)


Country: USA
Record Label: Relapse
Total playing time: 38:46

Descent is the debut album from Chicago-based psychedelic doom metal ensemble, Bloodiest. Drawing indirect influences from bands such as Neurosis and Swans, Bloodiest create a stunningly powerful wall of sound that becomes trance-inducing and very unpredictable at times. This is definitely the most unique and memorable new release I've heard in quite some time.
