Typically you realize a band kicks ass inside the first minute of listening. That’s just about what occurred after I began listening to “Fiends,” the primary tune off the brand new EP from Dejecter. God rattling, these vocals are deep and devastating, and people riffs are so catchy! There’s so much happening right here sonically, because the band’s sound recollects all the pieces from Crowbar to The Acacia Pressure to Vader and all shades of lethal noise in between. Or at the least that’s what I get out of their self-styled model as “progressive sludge/grind.”
No matter the way you classify them, Josh Caldwell (guitars, bass, keyboards), Silas Olson (vocals and lyrics) and Sean Rehmer (drums and percussion) has put collectively an enchanting mixture of simple brutality and efficient risk-taking and creativity. There’s sections of synchronized chugging and double bass, slower and doomy moments, and elements that catch you completely off-guard. I particularly like how the band makes use of the piano so as to add further layers of ambiance at a number of factors. It’s a completely rewarding hear. And for that motive, Decibel is proud to current Oblation Husk in its full energy and glory beneath. The EP will see an unbiased launch tomorrow.
