Lords of Bastard - Cuddles

I am not sure what the title refers to but I do not want these

fuckers giving me a cuddle.

Lords of Bastard occupy the sonic hinterland that is occupied 

by mutant acid-dropping bands that combine noise rock

with lashings of sludge.

This album has a huge, dense sound that stomps over your

sensibilities and punches you in the throat. The vocals are

quite low in the mix and fight to be heard over the pounding

riffing and Am-Rep rhythms, giving the songs a dark tension

that builds within the song passages. Keyboards add a

layered dimension and a sinister atmosphere more creepy than

watching re-runs of Jim'll Fix It.

There are elements of chaotic free-form structures running

through the tracks but never distracting enough to make you

forget the huge, heavy riffs that are always present.

I like this a lot - give it a listen.
