Notes

This playlist started specifically because I was extremely taken by the absolutely bone-crushing distorted bass tones from Justin Chancellor in Jambi‘s intro immediately after Adam Jones’ stellar riffage. It’s a plundering bassline that steals every last dredge of your soul’s syrupy sin and coaleceses it into a crystaline prism of dark fractcal light.

Ouch. My eyes hurt after reading that.

Discovering Ningen Isu was also a highlight of the week. They’re a heavy metal band from Japan that started in 1987 and their influences really do show. The metal is tasty, sludgy and full of attitude. They have a unique aesthetic that only they could pull off with earnesty, and I do think enjoying their visual language is part of enjoying their music as a whole.

In all, this past week has been quite rock and metal influenced, which is a great shot in the arm to get certain energies moving. However, toward the end of the week, some interesting tunes began to reveal themselves and we could potentially be exploring more of that next week.
