wibbs Difficult to pick a favorite moment on this rampaging slugfest. Could it be the piledriving breakdown in the title track, the thoughtful intro to The Wreck & The Mill, or the relentless savagery and punishment of closer In Summation? All I know is it's a bruising monolith of thunderous heaviness throughout /,,/ Favorite track: Bleaching Heat.

Darknight Row Of Ashes have created an audio assault of sublime heaviness. Bleaching Heat is the wrecking ball and we the listener are the wreckage, the whole damn album is the sound of destruction. Fantastic album! Favorite track: The Next Away.

about

Surviving Sounds proudly present the new album from London based noisy sludge metal trio ROW OF ASHES - to be released on cassette and digital on May 6th 2022. Bleaching Heat is Row Of Ashes rawest and most immediate statement to date - the summation of two years of frustration bent into a pummeling barrage of angular riffs, bulldozing drums and pained screams.

Captured by Joe Garcia at Joe's Garage in Bristol (which has also graced Idles, Wilderness Hymnal and Ogives Big Band), Bleaching Heat is all sweat, muscle, fire and fury, though not without nuance. A glistening undercurrent of violin on 'The Wreck & The Mill', eerie field recordings menacingly manipulated on 'Machining Statues' and a Moog synthesiser with all the bass frequencies turned up and distorted on 'Contraband' - these subtleties become and underbelly to lift and flavour the trio's aggressive and intense performances. With lyrics that rally varying levels of disappointment and frustration in the actions of others - Row Of Ashes' layers of noise pinched distortion, jagged riffs and eruptions of encompassing bass speak their internal woes. From the angular heat of 'Worcester Man' through to the apocalyptic beatdown of 'In Summation', Bleaching Heat is an intense and timely ode to sparring with a world that has become increasingly chaotic.

FFO: Will Haven, Unsane, Shellac, Neurosis, Torpor.

Row Of Ashes have toured mainland Europe with Hundred Year Old Man and performed alongside the likes of Witchsorrow, Garganjua, Torpor, Slabdragger, Wallowing, Wren and more. Their previous record Unbeliever was released on Truthseeker Music. Since their formation, Row Of Ashes' exhilarating and cutthroat sound has made an unmissable force in the UK's vibrant underground heavy scene.

If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound. The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP. mistermunn
