04 09:54 Salome - Carving the Ether

Release Notes:
Another killer release from Vendetta, once again combining two ugly, brutal, slow and heavy bands, this time from the U.s.. Southerners THOU come with thick slugde-core that doesn't fear occasional hymnical moments and quiet interludes before falling again into an abyss of black, hateful slowliness. Virginia-based SALOME instead serve stripped-down stark sludge-doom and prove that it needs no more than drums, a guitar and a vitriol-filled voice to deliver nothing but pure hatred.

Two bands that simply had to come together on a split release on their urge to explore the depths of heavy sludge/doom.
THOU ornament their noisy SABBATH worship with moments of
quietness and melancholy that calms down the listener before dragging him down into the dark cellars of the mighty e-minor chord cathedral. SALOME concentrate more on the pure power of the repetitive guitar riff fundamented by earthquake drumming and topped by awesome hateful tormented vocals. Altogether a massive dоcument of pain, despair and hate pressed onto vinyl.

The second full-length recording by Process of Guilt, is a major step forward for the portuguese band. Progressing even further from the post-doom sound crafted on their much lauded debut Renounce, the four musicians keep spreading their creative wings, breaking down genre boundaries and solidifying their very own personality.The album was captured, produced and mixed at 5 Dimenso Studios between August and November 2008 by Joo Bacelar and Fernando Mendes with the band. Afterwards the tracks were mastered at the Boiler Room, by Collin Jordan (well-known for his work with such bands as Ministry, Minsk or Buried at
Sea).
