Totally FLATTENING fucked up power-improv sludge from the Boston based duo of bassist Sam Rowell and drummer Tim Leanse, named after the free jazz reed player Eloe Omoe who was part of Sun Ra's Arkestra. Eloe Omoe-the-band knows what freedom is about, too, taking the sound of Godheadsilo tuning up and testing out and freaking out on their equipment and stretching that notion out over the course of 40 minutes, a monolithic free jazz avalanche of Leanse's splattery, sputtering tumbling percussion and loads of slammin' floor-tom pounding, Rowell's insane bass neck runs and massively distorted bass guitar low-freq squonk alternating between the roar of a malfunctioning Atari game soundtrack being blasted through a building-sized amplifier, and in-the-red speed/sludge metal riffs being sprayed across the room in a fit of clawed-off bass strings and chained effects-boxes bursting into flame. It's no secret that I love obnoxiously loud and heavy ""free-music"", and these cats bring it, six bulky jams of formless psychedelic noise rock splatter that is as informed by pulverizing hardcore aggression n' sludgecore bottom-end as it is by classic improvising techniques and fire music. Brutal stuff for sure, but mesmerizing too, especially when the two emerge from a spastic eruption of noise and flopping bass strings and lock in on a recurring theme that suddenly turns all of the air in the room to concrete. This CD version of Marauders is packaged in a jewel case with a different metallic-ink design than the LP version.
