Review by: Alex Deller
Wellington first, and their effort starts with a pleasant little slice of melodious noodling before crashing in some mammoth wall-of-hell guitars and all manner of vomited vocals. Something, however, is kinda lacking, missing the mark when what’s really needed is the ability to melt flesh from the bone. Basically, no matter how loud I turn this up its still not heavy enough.
Turning to Noothgrush for solace is always something of a desperate move seeing as their socially-conscious sludge probably smothers infants in its spare time, but after Wellington’s so-so performance you kinda need to. This lot pummel away menacingly exhibiting their typical hatred for mankind as they thud and pound, but, for whatever reason, this just isn’t one of their mightiest moments, leading me to suggest you check out their splits with Gasp or Corrupted before bothering with this ‘un.
