I have the self-titled album in mp3, it's good. just three long tracks of sludge, and the vocals are better than the average hardcore style. definetly 70/100 or something if you like listening to people worshipping their amps.

I'll have to give it another listen. Heard of Noothgrush? they're playing now on DS7. Nice and sloooow...

yeah, I've heard a few tracks but I don't have anything repeatable. the truth is that there are a hundred million brazilian pavilion sludge bands and a lot of them sound very similar indeed..

Exactly my problem with doom in general, too many bands sounding too similar, it's hard to pick out the good stuff.

I have that problem more with black metal, actually.. I try to limit myself to bands who exhibit something unusual. but yeah, as for doom.. that's what my reviews are for 8)
