GHOLD - BLUDGEONING SIMULATIONS
(sludge, doom, noise rock)
(London, UK)
(Human Worth)
The thought of a young person running free through the landscape impresses upon my mind as BLUDGEONING SIMULATIONS by GHOLD reverberates through the air.
This feels as if they are projected without warning through an overgrown woodland in the cold depths of winter. Like a startled deer, their hide is scarred. Enduring nature's abuse. Struck with rugged sticks and branches. No leaves to offer visual warning. The skin begins to welt and burn as the dark shades of seasonal change lay wasted up the grounds. Those fallen are returning back to earth to forge anew in a future rebirth. The freedom to move becomes a forceful struggle in seeking passage beyond. To move beyond and remove the boundaries that want to hold them captive.
This movement is an enchanting and beautiful moment to experience.
