Most Ridiculous Band Name I've Heard In Awhile

STINKY HUMANS ABUSE TO SUBSIST is the name of a sludge band from Beijing, China. Go figure... Anyhow, it just sounds a lot like Eyehategod to me. I'm mainly posting this because of the name and I know there are people out there who can't get enough of EHG. And I wanted to update the blog with something despite being in pain from a severe ankle sprain three weeks ago.

You can also listen on Spotify.

Here's the article where I read about them.

Some Sludge Releases From 2018 That Impressed Me

This was by far the best year for sludge music I've seen in awhile. Never heard so many solid releases in the genre from so many different places!!! I think sludge might be developing into something with a worldwide scene of its own, rather than merely being considered a "subset" of doom metal, with a strong presence in NOLA and a handful of bands in other places. Even my home state of Ohio (and the city of Cincinnati, where I live) has exploded with good sludge bands in recent years. In Cincinnati, for a long time, we used to only have BENEATH OBLIVION . But GAPING MAW and FLESH MOTHER emerged a few years ago and both have grown in their sound considerably... (this is the default image for a video of part of their set at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY in 2017 - it was shot by Max Volume Silence ) FLESH MOTHER released an incredible two-song EP two years ago and last year, put out an impressive full-length that was mastered by ...

NEWS ROUND-UP (GAPING MAW RIP, WOORMS and HORSEHUNTER 2019 Releases)...

GAPING MAW from Cincinnati has broken up. I talked to one or two of the guys about it. Sad to see that happen, but hopefully good will come of it. If you haven't heard them yet, go to bandcamp and pick up their swan song, The Big Fuck-Over . Physical copies are $5, downloads are name-your-price. The Big Fuck-Over by Gaping Maw WOORMS (from Baton Rouge, Louisiana) released a sick album called Slaked this year on Sludgelord Records. It's on Spotify , Bandcamp , etc. I strongly recommend it. Definitely a top five or top ten release for the year. Grab a copy on splattered vinyl before they're gone!!!! Australia's HORSEHUNTER put out their long-awaited sophomore effort, a self-titled full-length on Magnetic Eye. It's on a variety of formats. You can hear it in all of the usual places... Spotify , Bandcamp (which is also where you can buy it), etc.

NEW NEGATIVE REACTION ALBUM IS COMING OUT SOON, ALBUM TITLE REVEALED!!!!

(latest shirt design, © By Robin) NEGATIVE REACTION's first album in like... a decade(?!) is just about finished - right now it's in the mastering stage at Steer Run Studios, which is Ken-E-Bones' recording studio at his compound in West Virginia (he relocated there from Long Island!!!!). Speaking as one of the few people to have heard a track from it, I can tell you that it's going to be good ... I had the privilege of seeing them last summer, where Ken-E-Bones, as he put it, "channeled his inner Randy Rhodes". That's not just an opinion he and myself share, but his band and a pioneer of the sludge community who witnessed it live. Get ready to be shocked by these solos. At this point, I think it's safe to say that his guitar-playing is superior to Matt Pike, Wino, and even Dave Chandler. So be sure to check it out when it drops! Btw here's the official statement the band released about it last month: Negative Reaction February 29 a...
