Black Market Ministry - Voices Of The Coming Plague

Ever got the shit scared out of you ? Listening to the Black Market Ministry CD "Voices Of The Coming Plague" is somewhat like that.This is some real drunken,drugged up intense sludge that only these maniacs can produce.Total destructive chaos is what is on display here.From slower thick ass heavy riffs to more hardcore punk in your face attack,this band really mix it up in just the right quantity.There seems to be a million bands doing the Sludge thing but none quite like this.The sound is great combining a killer guitar sound,amazing bass,powerful drumming and some of the sickest tortured vocals you will ever hear.My favorite track at the moment is "A Room That Stinks Of Booze And Filth" but with a total of 11 awesome tracks on offer that could change on a daily basis.They have a taste for the violent and the destructive and that comes out in every way in the music.Is there something about living in Louisiana that makes you so pissed off,i don't know.One of the things that stand out about this band and this CD is the perfect blend of Doom,Sludge and Hardcore Punk aggression,not many bands can mix it up so well as this band.From the opening feedback to when the final note rings out this will leave you exhausted.The artwork is pretty cool and Leaf Lust Records have done a amazing job bringing this one out to the masses.This is going to be one of the albums of the year and is my number one Sludge album for 2009 so far.This is not what you could call standard Sludge Metal,Black Market Ministry have so much more to offer whether you like it or not.I mean that if you are of a weak disposition this might be a bit too brutal.I beg everyone to give this a listen,essential......9/10
