CAVITY  Supercollider  CD   (Hydra Head)   9.98


Just got this crucial reissue back in stock. On 1998's Supercollider, Cavity rose to their heights of feedback-soaked southern hatesludge with their most crushing album, a collection of Floridian nihilism so potent and punishing that these cats ascended to the same level as Eyehategod, no mean feat. Their previous albums were pretty badass, each one jammed with their feral, snarling sludgecore that took Eyehategod's bloozy slow-mo junkie dirge and pumped it full of hardcore vitriol, but man, Supercollider just blew everything else out of the water. The riffs are DEVESTATING, massive southern fried sludge hammered into hypnotic downtuned chuggery, diseased feedback splattered and smeared over the whole damn mess, and Anthony Vialon (also of Floor) spews out a tortured vocal assault. The band began to infuse the meth'd up Sabbathoid riffs with traces of industrial noise too, on tracks like "Who Doesn't Even Know Yet", and the whole thing reeks with a humid dystopian vibe. The band sometimes pulls back into quieter sections that contrast with the crushing riffs, but these moments are brief. Absolutely essential for fans of slow n' low deep-fried metal, and right up there with Eyehategod's Take As Needed For Pain and Weedeater's Sixteen Tons. This first came out on Man's Ruin back in the tail end of the 90's, but after the demise of that label, Hydra Head picked up the reins a few years back with this beefed up ressiue of Supercollider that boasts a better mix, brand new artwork and album package design, and some extra tracks. CRUCIAL.
