ODG161 : Friendly Fire / Friendly Fire

 



ODG161 : Friendly Fire / Friendly Fire


Polyrhythmic Grindcore? Dark Metal meets Drone...??
Prevalent use of saxophone feed back...dense bass drones, countered with layered drum structures. Flying on top of all this are vocal rant`s in an unknown language! Not easy perhaps, but you will not be bored! As a great actress once said in an well known film: “ fasten your seat belts it`s going to be a bumpy ride”.
