Corrupted is a sludge/drone doom metal band formed in 1994 in Osaka, Japan. Their sound is characterized by incrediblydowntuned guitars and bass playing slow, minimalist riffs under deep layers of feedback. The vocals are harsh guttural grunts,and the music alternates between long instrumental sections and sections with vocals which go for long periods of timewithout rest. They are considered by most familiar with the genre to be one of the heaviest and darkest doom metal bands ofall. However, they sometimes have long acoustic sections, spoken-word interludes, and other breaks in the style, even otherinstruments, as on their album El Mundo Frio, a 71-minute song which contains long sections of harp. To this effect,they used studio keyboardist, Takehito Miyagi.Corrupted has a few notable idiosyncrasies which seem to create an air of mystery around the band. Although they hail fromJapan, and their members on most releases are all Japanese, they sing almost exclusively in Spanish, though some songscontain sections in Japanese or English. In addition, the band has never taken promotional pictures nor do any of the albumscontain group photos. The only known existing photographs are taken by fans at concerts, and they refuse to giveinterviews.Corrupted's albums typically contain extensive liner notes in the form of bleak black-and-white photographs, which add to thegloomy atmosphere of the music. Much of Corrupted's discography is on split albums, often with grindcore bands. The band isknown for its ability to produce songs of almost any length; their longest song, 'El Mundo' is substantially longer than an hour,while their shortest song, an untitled track recorded for a homeless benefit compilation, lasts less than two minutes. « hide |
