Shallow Waters - Equal Eyes (LP vinyl, Hospital Productions 2008)



Shallow Waters is the power electronics project of Jeff Plummer and Rob Hill. And 'Equal Eyes' is their first full length release.

The first track 'Brought With Blood' begins with blasting low rumbling noise, quickly followed by nasty distorted vocals, which immediately sets the mood for the rest of this album. The second track 'We're Nothing' opens with a very nice drone, almost rythme like, moving up and down, and followed by the same mangled vocals. Track three 'Red Foam' has a very low thundering sound and more distant  sounding vocals, which are getting more aggressive towards the end. 'Cruelty Exposed' begins with blistering, high noise, attacking the sense organs and shredding the ears, while 'I Ask You' and 'Grim Warning', the last two tracks, are the most harsh and agressive ones of this album, spitting right in your face and beating you to pulp.

'Equal Eyes' is very straightforward in its sound and doesn't mess around.
What you get is uncompromised revolt and suffocating hatred from the first till the last minute.
A true masterpiece for the fans of power electronics.
