Numb
Everett, Washington sludge, or “weedviolence” as some of these guys have coined it these days. Started by the guys from Bom Shankar and Crop. This stuff is legitimately good, sludgy grind/powerviolence. Sometimes you can hear a little Dystopia, a little His Hero is Gone, and some genuine poweviolence influence coming from their previous efforts with Bom Shankar and Crop. Super rough...

F#A# (Infinity):
1. The Dead Flag Blues (16:24)
2. East Hastings (17:54)
3. Providence (29:02)
This is absolutely my favorite release by GY!BE. Haunting, to say the least, the first time I listened to this album, around 5 years ago, I was taken aback by the foreboding nature of the first track, “The Dead Flag Blues”. With it’s grim spoken pieces, as well as meandering,...
