Perhaps the best amalgamation of industrial/noisy rock and sludgey metal that comes to mind. Chat Pile are masters at creating a sound that is both extremely heavy yet somehow brutally depressing. It goes back to the use of dissonant noisy guitars with booming bass and cold industrial elements. The highs are super high here with Shame, Masc, I Am Dog Now, The New World and Frownland providing scary, anxious and ominous vibes to the listener. One of the true achievements of this record is just how accessible it is despite being pretty weird under the surface. Shame and Frownland are both downright catchy and groovy while being interesting musically and providing that dark feeling Chat Pile secretes. Definitely a step up from the debut and tightened up around the edges.

With Cool World, Chat Pile refines their heavy, industrial rock sound, delivering a more focused and cohesive record than God's Country - although that comes at the expense of no track surpassing their debut opener, even though "Masc" comes suuuuuuper close. The relentless energy is still there, but this time it feels more deliberate, with sharper songwriting and a deeper sense of atmosphere. They understood how to balance their chaotic intensity with moments of eerie calm, making the heavier parts hit even harder.

Chat Pile once again creates one of the most forward thinking sludge metal records to date. The use of noise rock really brings to life the sludgy and slow metal style the band is known for. Everything sounds like it was recorded from a garage way back in the 90s; in the very best way possible. Chat Pile has a really strong ability to get you hooked with their instrumentals and then staying because of their heady lyrics on wealth and politics. Definitely give this a try if you like some rough and grimy metal music.
