Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Asva - Futurists Against the Ocean (2005)
Majestic, otherworldly drone-doom. Towering masses of organ, synth, and down-tuned guitars that belie a knack for memorable melodic themes. When the vocals finally hit in "A Game in Hell, Hard Work in Heaven", rivers flood, dams break, and hearts explode. Asva take a more subtle, slow-burning approach to the style than many of their peers -- like, say, Burning Witch, with whom they have a split -- so I guess it makes sense that they never quite became a household name in drone-doom circles, but... they're just so fucking good.
Track listing:
1. What You Don't Know Is Frontier
2. Christopher Columbus
3. A Game in Hell, Hard Work in Heaven
4. A Trap for Judges
Sweet dreams asshole

ReplyDeleteWondered if you'd seen the movie, Mandy? It's sort of a heavy metal movie. I don't know much about the genre, but towards the end of the film they play some kinda metalish music and played some Crimson in the opening.
