0.0 JUGGRNAUT | October 29th 10

Crusty, metallic, sludgy death rock filled with heavy head-bobbing riffs, yelled leaning-toward raspy vocals with lyrics about how slow and agonizing work is. Not a single dud on the album.

FFO: Unsane, Melvins, Fight Amp, Kylesa, KEN mode, 90's noise rock.

The Bay area wrecking machine have more in common with a steamroller than a band — flattening everything in their way with impossibly heavy riffs and truly tortured vocals. They channel AmRep through a decidedly metallic filter.

Fantastically crafted record with huge undertones! Contender for heaviest record in 2009!

Gambling on the Richter Scale is a dark and oppressive album born out of repetitive low tuned guitar riffs and yelled vocals. Without showing anything really new in the post-metal genre, this energic band has the merit to deliver a well crafted work that will surely be appreciated by the fans of Isis, Neurosis and Godflesh.
