| 3.5 great | SiderianUK | January 8th 18 |
Encompassing the sole LP, plus EP and split EPs from the UK three-piece, this 25 track hour long album was limited to a run of just 200 copies and is one hell of a ride.
The mostly short tracks veer from speedy grindcore to bombed out doom, often in the space of one song (“Stench of Death”) while encompassing life-affirming riffery (“Cometh”), vehement anti-war/politician/religion/sexism/homophobia lyrics (pretty much every track) with a canny knack for some thought-provoking and downright spit-you-tea-across-the-room-hilarious samples (“Oxygen Thieves”).
Overall this is a grim, filth-stained romp that touches on just about every extreme metal genre going, yet manages to emerge unscathed, still booting you in the face at the end of the two minute wall of feedback wall that concludes album-closer “Obey”.
Highly enjoyable, virtually filler-free and packed full of ideas, it’s a shame War Wolf decided to call it a day when they did as their uncompromising sound was highly addictive.
