This British group is responsible for some of the heaviest, most extreme dubstep I've ever heard, and their Flood 12", a vinyl-only limited release from Ad Noiseam, brings more of that awesome apocalyptic dub-dread. Crushing, subwoofer-wrecking bass and ultra-distorted stuttering 4/4 beats are mixed with sampled strings, eerie voices, contorted synth lines and even some brooding post-rock atmospherics to create a peculiarly doom-laden form of dubstep that is just as heavy as anything you'll hear from Necro Deathmort or The Blood Of Heroes, and probably even heavier. Each side features two tracks: first up is the massive lurching doom-laden dubstep of the title track, followed by the brilliantly assembled "Aporia", which opens with cavernous black ambience before slipping into a bleak Scorn-esque dubscape with bits of soundtrack-style strings and muffled techno rhythms, sinister cinematic samples and dark choral voices.

Over on the b-side, an impressive intro of orchestral stabs and skull-imploding bass leads into the brutal wobbling synth-bass of "Mask Of Gas" (the only non-exclusive track on this record, having previously appeared on the band's 2009 album Terminal Static), with pulverizing beats that are so heavy, they could have been lifted from a deathcore album; this track achieves massive metallic heaviness. And "Bad Acid" features lush pads and bursts of distorted synth that spasm into a brutal mash of distorted beats, slithering blown-out bass, sampled vocals from some maniacal ragga toaster, all fused into a mass of sputtering spastic dubdoom.

This is as brutal and as violent as I've heard dubstep get. Highly recommended!
