The Hermit, by Sea Bastard

The Hermit

by Sea Bastard

supported by

Nic Brown Few bands, if any, take sludge to the pitiless extremes that Primitive Man manage, so it's a brave combo indeed that accedes to a split with them. Sea Bastard, over the course of the 19+ minute hell-spawned slay ride that constitutes "The Hermit" give their cohorts more than a crawl for their money though. This is a black, scummed-out blizzard of grisly, unforgiving noise and we should bow before their decaying altar with all the deference one gives such cheerless sonic despondency.

	Man of strength High born son Brought to faith By visions Compelled to seek Men of the cloth Accepted, ordained Charged to spread the faith The pious Life is led Coming of plague Many dead Leadership Inherited Help the common men Spread His word to them A life Of peace Solitary Retreat Surrounded By the sea Devils To defeat Miraculous Pure spring Sent by Divinity His servant Now deceased Canonised Not to rest in peace Raiders crossed the sea Seeking finery With much savagery Treasures aplenty In the monastery Holy men must flee Their way that of peace Exhumed from the grave Body undecayed Smuggled and kept safe Sheltered in a cave Icon for the faith Preserved by the brave Nomads for an age Until sacred grave Years go by Pilgrims come Seek the blessing Of the holy one

Terminal
by Bongripper

supported by 38 fans who also own “The Hermit”

Comme Satan Worshipping Doom et Miserable, Terminal est un album qui vraiment toute son ampleur quand il est écouté d'une traite car il s'agit d'une lente agonie qui s'étend sur presque trois-quarts d'heure. Les sonorités psychédéliques propres à Bongripper sont absentes et le stoner/doom metal du quartette tend plutôt vers une sphère atmosphérique (certains arpèges de "Slow" ne sont pas éloignés de celles de Earth) voire funéraire et la mort finit par s'imposer comme la seule évidence possible.
