Swallowing Bile is a rather new project, run by Ethan Ebeling and started somewhere in 2012, I assume. And he allready has an impressive discography to say the least.Obsession, his second full album, begins straight away and doesn't give you any room to breath. Nasty, biting power electronics, shredding noise and muffled vocals collide with each other, joined by short outbursts of high pitched shriekings. Some other tracks have the same intensity; aggressive sounding vocals, drenched in noise splinters. While another one begins with calmer crackling noises, but than gets you by surprise with harsh noise intervals and sickened vocals. And 'To Gently Rest' Is like a silence before the storm.
The sound (and genre) of this release has some resemblances with Plague Mother, also a fairly new and promising project whitin the scene. It also has this very direct and fresh sound, which I like.
I like the cover as well, cause its not something you would easily expect for such a release.
In the future I will be reviewing more of this project.
