Chicago's six-piece, experimental ensemble BLOODIEST are back with their
second full-length of ritualistically heavy orchestrations. The
self-titled new album takes the distinctive genre-bending, wall-of-sound
the band forged on Descent to an entirely new level. Droning melodies,
earth-shaking riffs, and trance-inducing atmosphere sounds wrap around
one another in a tight, cohesive package.
Produced by the band's own
Tony Lazzara and Sanford Parker (YOB, Minsk) and led by the distinctive
wail of frontman Bruce Lamont (Yakuza, Corrections House), BLOODIEST has
further established themselves as an inimitable force both in and
beyond heavy music. As cinematic and cathartic as it is crushing and
cruel, Bloodiest is one of the most dynamic and rewarding works modern,
forward-thinking music has seen in years.
