Sihr - Beneath The Twelve Mile Zone

Big thanks has to go out to the folks at the Sludge Swamp Blogspot for making me aware of this killer Doom/Sludge band.This is a must for fans of Electric Wizard,Bongzilla,Church Of Misery and Weedeater,this is one of the heaviest things released this year and its all free from their website,the link is below so grab a download and you wont be disappointed.The album starts with "Russian Legs" full of monumental riffage,shredding solo work and some spoken word samples that add to the crushing intensity of this track.They couldn't open the album in any heavier fashion,this is pure unadulterated heaviness."Comes With The Territory" is up next and continues the intense pummeling attack.The vocals are typical of bands like this but so heavy in their delivery,the thought of being unoriginal wont be a issue.The rolling riff lines combined with a super heavy bottom end bass sound makes this impossible not to get blown away."Working With Knots" starts off with a twisted,distorted riff before it moves into more pure Sludge driven headbanging ecstasy.This reminds me of "Church Of Misery's" finest work and the section starting at 2:20 is just magic in the most Doomed out way possible.The guitar work is exceptionally good and it seems like these guys were made to play this sort of music,this band has the potential to be the next kings of super heavy ass Sludge/Doom music."Running Wild" is again another killer track with the a riff that slays,not to mention the lead work that interweaves its way through the arrangement.Still 4 tracks in and the quality hasn't let up,crank this baby up and you will have to scrape yourself off the walls after its finished."Unbecoming Misdeeds" is one of my favorite tracks on the album,once again its heavy as hell with those tortured growling vocals pushing the Doom intensity to a new level."Kurmari Kandam",the final track and the longest track on the album at over 10 minutes is a tour de force of Sludge Metal.The solo that works its way into the track at around the 4 minute mark is a monster,swirling and twisting all the way.The track winds down to a feedback laden,Psychedelic finish which seems a perfect way to end such a great album.I say download this band before they become household names in the Doom/Sludge world.This is so good and so freakin heavy....Essential listening 10/10
