Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/acidsloth-acidsloth-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Acidsloth – Acidsloth Review</a></p><p><i>By Thus Spoke</i></p><p>Can you guess what genre<strong> Acidsloth</strong> plays? Yes, that’s right, it’s thrash! Ok, no, obviously not, it’s stoner doom—what else with a name that’s a portmanteau of a drug and a notoriously slow-moving animal? Kicking<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/acidsloth-acidsloth-review/#fn-218672-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> around since 2021, Kraków’s <strong>Acidsloth </strong>already have two LPs to their name, but it’s their third that they bestow the honor of being self-titled. The reason is that this time, they’re a “full band” (to use their own terminology), totaling eight(!) musicians, five of whom perform vocals. In this sense, <em>Acidsloth</em> is kind of their debut. With a charmingly against-type depiction of their token animal, and the promise of “<strong>Eyehategod</strong>-level aggression mixed with <strong>Conan</strong>’s heaviness and<strong> Electric Wizard’</strong>s psychedelic weight,” <strong>Acidsloth </strong>are out to show they mean business.</p><p><strong>Acidsloth</strong>’s more-is-more approach to vocalists sees them hand the mic to a new player on (almost) every track.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/acidsloth-acidsloth-review/#fn-218672-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a> This is a cool and unique way to inject a bit of flavor into what is an infamously monotonous subgenre, as we swap between the shriekier (Julia Markiewicz, Radosław Bury), hoarser (Jan Gajewski, Mateusz Zborowski) and the growlier (Patryk Kozera) interpretations of the sludge scream. Beyond this, their compositions follow a common trajectory, often beginning with atmospheric, slightly ominous plucking and spending most of their time brooding in distorted sludgy chugs to a sedated beat. It’s certainly solid (in literal density as well as aesthetic quality), and sometimes it’s even slick thanks to some beautifully-timed transitions and an elusive solo. But as a whole, it fails to have the weight it needs to support its posture.</p><p></p><p>The thing about having different vocalists on different songs is that it’s quite important to be able to hear them well enough to appreciate their individual skills. Unfortunately, <em>Acidsloth</em>’s vocal track is so low in the mix compared to the instrumentation that the shouts and screams are often lost in the fuzz and bang of guitar and bass drum (particularly on “Float” and “Sin”). Given this, you’d hope the riffs would make up for it, but here too, <strong>Acidsloth</strong> fumble the ball. Outside of two pretty sweet solos (“Hole,” “Puke”) the guitars only hint at interesting melodies with some hanging plucks (“Hole,” “Free,” “Puke,” “Satan”), and interspersed passages of up-or-down-tempo strumming (“Float,” “Satan”). There are little moments of brilliance where it seems <strong>Acidsloth</strong> finally finish coming up and deliver—brutal, sledgehammer sludge screams (“Float,” “Free”); that solo (“Hole”); groovily-tapping post metal tension (“Free,” “Satan”); moody liquid plucks (“Sin”). But it’s at these times when <strong>Acidsloth</strong>’s odd compositional habits truly hamstring what strength they gained. Frequently, songs switch gears midway, and then again, and yet manage to reprise the least-interesting elements of monotony; the cool parts not given time to command the space they deserve (“Hole,” “Free,” “Sin,” “Puke”). The worst case is “Free,” which could have <strong>Amenra</strong>-esque levels of bite and solemnity, if the mid-tier galloping sludge didn’t smother the harrowing howls, and the anticipatory build that interrupts it set the tone instead.</p><p></p><p>Doom of any kind, and sludge for that matter, is at heart designed to be uncomplicated, but its presence—whether through emotional depth or sheer magnitude—is what makes it powerful. Alternatively, maybe it can just make you feel good with some psychedelically lush soundscapes. <em>Acidsloth </em>has no presence beyond its literal noisiness, and there’s but a glimmer of color in the melodies. The near-inaudibility of the vocalists is made worse by the frequent use of reverb, and what is either multi-tracking or group shouts (their muddiness makes it hard to tell). The music isn’t “boring,” as such, it’s just draining to listen to, as all the best riffs, screams, and good use of rhythm and atmosphere are quite quickly ironed over with a return to the plod and a sheen of humming feedback. One thus ends up walking away with the unfair impression that there’s simply nothing going on in the entire record. Even in active listens, I struggled to cling to the positive vibes.</p><p>As a stoner doom album, maybe <em>Acidsloth</em> is standard fare, but I would like to think not. As a sludge album, it fares better, thanks to an emphasis on chunky—albeit mostly dull—riffing and the fact that at least some of the vocalists seem to have promise. <strong>Acidsloth</strong> are finding their feet as an ensemble, and if they can pool their assets, I think they could make something pretty juicy. Hopefully, they make the move faster than the animal they’re named for.</p> <p><strong>Rating: </strong>Disappointing<br><strong>DR:</strong> 6 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label: </strong><a href="https://www.willowtip.com/home.aspx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Willowtip</a><br><strong>Websites: </strong><a href="https://patristic.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Patristicblackmetal/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> June 20th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/20/" target="_blank">#20</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/acidsloth/" target="_blank">#Acidsloth</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/amenra/" target="_blank">#Amenra</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/conan/" target="_blank">#Conan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/cult-of-luna/" target="_blank">#CultOfLuna</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/doom-metal/" target="_blank">#DoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/electric-wizard/" target="_blank">#ElectricWizard</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/eyehategod/" target="_blank">#Eyehategod</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jun25/" target="_blank">#Jun25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/polish-metal/" target="_blank">#PolishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/post-metal/" target="_blank">#PostMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/self-releases/" target="_blank">#SelfReleases</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sludge/" target="_blank">#Sludge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/stoner-doom/" target="_blank">#StonerDoom</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/blood-vulture-die-close-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Blood Vulture – Die Close Review</a></p><p><i>By Saunders</i></p> Corpse-painted host and comedian of metal show <em>Two Minutes to Late Night</em>, Jordan Olds (aka Gwarsenio Hall), spearheaded some nifty entertainment during the height of the pandemic. Snapping up the limited release digital covers EPs during Bandcamp Fridays allowed me to net some cool stuff. Olds and a host of musicians, including <strong>Chelsea Wolfe</strong> and members of <strong>Dillinger Escape Plan</strong>, <strong>Mastodon</strong>, <strong>Mutoid Man</strong>, <strong>Royal Thunder</strong>, and <strong>Baroness</strong> amongst others, put their wacky spin on a variety of metal anthems and other classic tunes. Olds demonstrated his own impressive musical talents with axe and mic. Keen to substitute his comedic background for a darker, decidedly more serious musical quest, Olds unleashes his <strong>Blood Vulture</strong> project, crafting a curious debut album entitled <em>Die Close</em>. Boasting a doomy, gloomy, though deceptively versatile and hard-hitting opus, can<strong> Blood Vulture</strong> muster up the chops and songwriting substance to match the style and impressive musicianship? <em>Die Close</em> features an intriguing melting pot of styles and influences. Doom forms the beating heart of the beast, complimented by elements of sludge, ’90s grunge/alt rock, moody, scarlet dappled Goth, and a touch of camp. Influences are worn proudly on sleeves. Channeling the raw heft of <strong>Crowbar</strong>, somber hues of contemporary doom heavyweights <strong>Khemmis</strong> and <strong>Pallbearer</strong>, along with the addictive harmonies of <strong>Alice In Chains</strong>, there is nary a dull moment. <strong>Blood Vulture</strong> boast the songwriting sparks to rise above derivation. Temptation to load up his debut with a convoluted cast of musical guests and friends would have been high. On this front, star power features, but is not overdone, including contributions from Jade Puget (<strong>AFI</strong>), <strong>Shadows Fall</strong> frontman Brian Fall, and Kristin Hayter (<strong>Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter</strong>,<strong> Lingua Ignota</strong>). Meanwhile, Stephen Brodsky (<strong>Cave In</strong>, <strong>Mutoid Man</strong>) and friends lend vocal harmonies on the excellent “Die Close: Finale,” a brooding, grungy, and uplifting closer. Outside of these carefully curated guest spots, by all accounts Olds handles tasks single-handedly, including vocals, guitars, bass, and synths, aided by drummer Moe Watson. Following a shortish, mood-setting opener, <em>Die Close</em> kicks in proper via the leaden sludge-doom riffage and infectious Jerry Cantrell-esque vocal hooks on “An Embrace in the Flood.” The song’s straightforward building blocks deftly shift through surprising turns, including a brief barrage of blast beats and cascading solo, coupled with gorgeous vocal harmonies. A powerful melodic current flows through the album, exemplified through Old’s versatile clean vox, array of elegant solos, and mood-driven, shadowy synths. However, the melodic elements are powerfully counterpunched by a foundation of meaty doom and sludge riffs, lending the album its heavier, weighty edge. Substantial heft dominates the riff palette, heavily featured on cuts such as the gritty crunch of “Grey Mourning,” and the storming throes of “Abomination.” <strong>Blood Vulture</strong>’s versatility and knack for infectious songcraft shine. Swathed in dreamy atmospheres and built upon a sturdy foundation of grinding riffs, “Entwined” features a wonderful dual vocal performance from Olds and Hayter, the latter’s dramatic, ghostly presence a highlight. <p></p><p>For all its notable strengths, gripping guitar work, and towering hooks, <em>Die Close</em> has a few hiccups expected from a debut album. The two shorter introductory and interlude pieces are decent enough, yet ultimately disposable, while the stronger moments and soaring melodies on the Gothy melodrama of “A Dream About Starving to Death” are tripped up by some overly goofy lyrical and vocal turns. Nevertheless, outside of these minor sore spots, <em>Die Close</em> is consistently entertaining and occasionally gripping at its potent best. Olds still displays some tongue-in-cheek humor and horror shtick, also reflected in the accompanying music videos, though overall, <em>Die Close</em> is a dark and brooding album. Expectedly, Olds is the star of the show, defined by his excellent guitar work and standout vocals. Vocally, Olds shifts between several modes, showcasing solid range, character, and emotional depth.</p><p><strong>Blood Vulture</strong> came from nowhere, unleashing a fresh, emotive and punchy blast of doomy heft, blockbuster hooks and haunting harmonies. Bolstered by stellar performances and addictive songwriting, where the album’s earwormy hooks and stronger material showcase Olds as a serious artist on the rise, <em>Die Close</em> signals an assured and confident debut. A few kinks aside, <em>Die Close i</em>s a hugely enjoyable album that’s well worth a listen and should cement <strong>Blood Vulture</strong> as an exciting new voice in the doomsphere.</p><p></p> <strong>Rating:</strong> 3,5/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 5 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="http://www.purenoise.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pure Noise Records</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="https://twominutestolatenight.bandcamp.com/album/die-close" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Blood-Vulture/61575142207326/?_rdr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> June 27th, 2025 <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/afi/" target="_blank">#AFI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/american-metal/" target="_blank">#AmericanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/blood-vulture/" target="_blank">#BloodVulture</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/cave-in/" target="_blank">#CaveIn</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/chelsea-wolfe/" target="_blank">#ChelseaWolfe</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/crowbar/" target="_blank">#Crowbar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/die-close/" target="_blank">#DieClose</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/dillinger-escape-plan/" target="_blank">#DillingerEscapePlan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/doom-metal/" target="_blank">#DoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/grunge/" target="_blank">#Grunge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/lingua-ignota/" target="_blank">#LinguaIgnota</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mastodon/" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mutoid-man/" target="_blank">#MutoidMan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/pure-noise-records/" target="_blank">#PureNoiseRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reverend-kristin-michael-hayter/" target="_blank">#ReverendKristinMichaelHayter</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/royal-thunder/" target="_blank">#RoyalThunder</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/shadows-fall/" target="_blank">#ShadowsFall</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sludge/" target="_blank">#Sludge</a></p>
