A new project is rising from the abyss
and it is called Godcage. Only three releases counting on the
artists Bandcamp. And I will be reviewing “Albatross Of
Faith".
The first track called “Death Swallowed
Me” is a short and vile track. Dense, nasty feedback squirming against
distant vocals and harsh noise. Short but powerfull. “Ragana”, the second one, has low, delayed
vocals that sound a bit like being in slow motion. After a while they are joined by higher
screaming and high rhythmic clanging, delayed as well, giving this track a more
industrial feel to it. “Obsidian (live)” has low drones, oscillating
effects and direct, aggressive vocals. The drones and effects on the background
sound sick, like if they are wining in pain. “Back To The Gallows” starts with high
static noise and reverbed vocals. A slow distorted tone comes in, but quickly
gets disrupted by the destroying vocals and static harsh noise. “Curse Of My
Love” is very deranged in sound. Faint sounding and disharmonic tones collide
with pushing and roaring harsh noise. The last track, “Ante Mortem”, has
obliterating power electronics and washy, harsh vocal noise.
This release with a mixture of harsh
noise and power electronics and a small dose of industrial influences, is very
promising for what is coming in the future. I also like the artwork; dark and raw, with those old school contrasts, like the sound of these ear shredding tracks.
