POHJAMUTA / USKO – Split LP

Description

Pohjamuta play slow sludge (occasionally picking up a wee bit of pace). It’s not exactly redefining anything but the vocals are pretty cool early Burzum-esque howls and if yr a fan of sludge you’ll find this perfectly acceptable. Usko play a mix of slow sludge metal with raging fast almost power violence-y bits with a total basement sound (the snare sounds like a biscuit tin and the vocals are way higher in the mix than everything else). I’d usually not be into this kinda gear but I kinda like it to be honest, think the total primitivism of it is cool. Limited to 202.
