Review
Doom/Stoner Metallers Doomsday Profit return with a heavier, seedier and more aggressive sound on their stunning sophomore record. The sound is boosted by harsh melodies and fast-paced grooves that moves the band closer to central NOLA and Southern Metal sound influenced by the likes of EYEHATEGOD especially with the nasty vocals and lyrics that’s been employed by the band for the record.
You can still hear influences by the likes of WEEDEATER, BONGZILLA and DOWN in places with Doomsday Profit adopting a cold calculated foray into areas of Thrash Metal and Speed Metal within the early stages of the record. There’s still a sense of twisted melody being generated by the excellent use of different areas of Doom, Sludge and Stoner Metal rhythms. The vocals from Bryan Reed are continuously filthy with a guttural presence but most importantly quite easy to understand which allows the listener to easily follow the whole creative outline of the record.
The opening batch of songs of Stargazer, Spirits and The South Will Sink sees an eerily grim sense of rebellion with the down-tuned grooves full of THICK SMOKE and fucked up heavy attitude to match. The seedy Psychedelic movements have a stripped back approach which is laced with an almost nihilistic precision that allows Doomsday Profit to play some thrilling instrumental passages and a neverending supply of intense GLOOMY sludgy guitars sweetening the overall deal of the whole album.
The album is highly unpredictable with Doomsday Profit fully selling their violent musical adventure throughout with epic AMPLIFIER FEEDBACK and DOWN-TUNED REVERB appearing more directly on tracks such as Terror Cycle, Doomsday Profit, Sin Eater and the violently epic final track of Monument To Nothing. The record really shines when the band inject a sense of despairing true life themes into the mix which offers a more powerful statement of intent when the music is played at a cautious slow-to-mid pace.
With a cool small sideline into Progressive areas, Doomsday Profit are never afraid to try different things with their music and still deliver a pulsating, bleak and pissed musical odyssey which should keep the hordes of the underground scene firmly impressed and wanting more carnage in the long term future.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
