Review
Creatures is the new EP from Drone/Doom/Stoner Metal collective Void Sinker and follows the same sonic trajectory as their recent album Echoes From The Deep. The sound is perhaps heavier and riff-orientated with elements of Sludge and Post-Metal making an aggressive appearance on different stages of the EP. The EP lasts for around forty five minutes spread across two tracks which allows Guglielmo Allegro to spread his Drone Metal creative ideas and thoughts against a backdrop of murky rhythms and aquatic vibes that holds everything together.
The added use of Ambient and Oceanic sounds is most definitely influenced by Void Sinker’s previous record with a fast-paced narrative leaning into some heavy thick SLUDGE METAL grooves with a distinctive Psychedelic rhythm emerging from behind the scenes. Both tracks of Kraken and Naga are superbly constructed and played throughout with different levels of distorted sounds and aquatic soundscapes perhaps inspired by the likes of SUNN 0))), Mastodon and Neurosis for that extra level of Prog Metal heaviness.
The production values have a stripped back appeal which is quite different to Void Sinker’s previous recorded efforts. Everything sounds more urgent with the overlapping sludgy guitars perhaps being too soulful at times though the Drone Metal passages is where the real power lies for Guglielmo Allegro to prove once more why he’s one of the underground scene’s most impressive creative minds currently out there.
The last record was quite a bleak and pitch-black affair but Creatures returns to a more action packed sound first heard within Void Sinker’s earlier releases. There are moments of Post-Black grooves that merge the areas of Doom Metal and Sludge Metal into a more ethereal and monolithic tone that is simply beautiful to fully witness at times. If creating SONIC and AMPLIFIER DISTORTED melodies was ever considered an art form then Void Sinker would be in a league of his own.
Creatures is another epic sounding record and stylish effort from Void Sinker that should allow Guglielmo Allegro to expand his “CULT” appeal even further within the underground scene.
