More spacey, moss-covered Scandinavian doomcrust from Thrash And Burn, the same label that dropped those supremely crushing discs from L�HD�N AIKA and ABANDON on us. With a combo of dissonant, gloomy doomage and massive midtempo chug that approximates the sound of mammoth being ridden into battle across the Finnish tundras, DEAD IN THE WATER gather dark clouds in a manner similiar to 90's Holy Terrorizers INTEGRITY and CATHARSIS, but slowed down/gummed up into molasses-oozing sludginess flecked with some moments of beautiful, instrumental post rock interludes.

Spaced out Peaceville style crustcore fronted by two singers who trade off on raspy, shredded screaming and deep gorilla demon bellowing, as the music expands into epic dissonance, powered by some bulldozing bass playing with a killer buzzsaw tone, huge drumming, and layered guitars, and every song delivering some unstoppable dark melodic hooks, grim and frostbitten yet majestic. Think of some fusion of DYSTOPIA and TRAGEDY, NEUROSIS and HIS HERO IS GONE, the band members clad in bear pelts and iron, pounding out apocalyptic warnings across a frozen expanse. Less Days is way too brief at just 5 songs/20 minutes, we're def looking forward to a full length from these polar warriors. Seriously heavy. This disc is limited to 509 copies, packaged in a matte finish digi-sleeve with a 4-panel insert.
