Hell - I, 12" limited



So once again because of my laziness i took this review from Pesanta Urfolk which is the label responsible for the release of this Hell of a record. Luckily my band has had the pleasure of meetin and hangin in Salem Oregon with this dude and he is no joke and neither is his music.So read up get inspired and go buy this LP before its too late because there are only a few copies left..........  

"For those of you who have never heard this monolithic Cascadian Doom one man Doom project, don’t beat yourself up over it. I hadn’t either. With only two tapes released that were so limited that you basically had to be a friend, family or room mate to get a hold of, sometimes these things are easy to miss.
But fear not, the wonderful Pesanta label has seen fit to re-release the first offering, simple entitled “I” on beautiful black and red semitransparent vinyl. Originally released on the sadly now defunct Woodsmoke label, the LP version has been remastered to suitably melt the skin from your skull.
Skillfully mixing sludgy feedback, pitch black drones, Sabbath grooves and Ninth Circle vocals, this is a serious Doom masterpiece. This thing is so heavy, all the food in my fridge spoiled, so massive I’m pretty sure if you turned it up loud enough it might actually shift the earth’s axis, with the speed of molasses at the arctic circle. Some oppressive and suffocation, it’s the audial equivalent of a sinking ship.
The LP version is limited to 322 copies, features beautiful black on red Gustave Doré cover art, comes with a 36 x 24 inch poster and a digital download card. Although, playing this thing on an mp3 is kind of like taking a BB gun to Afghanistan, you just need to dust off the turntable for this. This one is essential to all fans of DOOM."
