Accolades for Self Titled
Warhammer 48k lets everything fly on this album and in only six songs. Pain will shoot through your arm as you pull it out of the wall while listening to the opening track. It�ll probably bleed a bunch, too, but don�t let any sudden blood pressure changes detract you from your ability to catch both channels of pummeling guitars. Warhammer lets loose its stoner grind by slowing the pace and unleashing the furious guitars only to thrust itself back into full-speed and then fade into a bath of noise. The band pulls back from the adrenaline rush that�ll whisk the listeners into an enlightened (read: stoned) bliss with its nimble bass line and simple string arrangement, all of which gets torn to shreds.
Falling somewhere between the indie mathy metallic crush of bands like Unwound, Lync, the Narrows, and Karp and the post rock sludge metal of bands like Conifer, Baroness, and Tides, but with their own unique sense of dynamics and some strange and strangely original riffs. From loping minor key slowcore, to super dense complex dual guitar riffing, to pounding full on metal, to lurching sludge rock, to noisy indie mathrock, to massive squalls of downtuned riffing and squealing feedback, this is heavy and epic, catchy and weird, noisy and freaked out, super dynamic and totally original.
