Tone Filth

I have been meaning to post about the new Wolf Eyes record "Human Animal" for about a week now and just haven't found the time. This time around Wolf Eyes seem to be latching on to slightly more converntional song structures as these tracks are much more grounded and listenable that much of the band's back catalog. That is not to say that Human Animal is not just as filthy or brilliant this time around as on their past excursions.

Funeral doom, drone, dirge, noise, and free jazz all come together in a most unholy union here. From the plodding death march of the opener to the blackened ambience of "Lake of Roaches" to the absolute cacophony of "Human Animal" and "Rusted Mange" we are held privy to the darkest of musical explorations. A signal to the sky, a warning to stay away that draws you even closer.

You can't go wrong with almost any of Wolf Eyes back catalog but if you are just discovering them, Human Animal serves as a perfect beginners guide.
