Toilet Snake - Back from the Sewers
(sludge, doom, heavy)
(Milan, Italy)
(Electric Valley Records, Teschio Dischi)
Bathed in fuzz and reeking of the nastiest sludge soaked riffs, Back from the Sewers by Toilet Snake creeps through a sea of monotonous works to sink its poisonous fangs into the flesh of contemporary works.
It is a refreshing thing to hear a band get down to business. No bells and whistles, make up or flashy wardrobes. No droning intros with a promise of the big riff that never arrives. Expect loud amps, pounding rhythms and gnarly vocals. Everything that one hopes for when digging into a heavy music release. Less is more as the EP format leaves the listener searching for more venom to inject. One of my favorite EPs of the year, so far.
Let me openly acknowledge my hesitation to press play after reading the band name Toilet Snake. Thank goodness the artwork by Sandy Rezalmi (IG: @sandyrezalmi ) planted a seed of curiosity. This EP is terrific and one I've revisited many times in a short period.

General Synopsys: heavy, raw, straight to the point. loud fuzzy riffs and a good amount of angst to it settle in in for the ride.
