Welcome back after the weekend. Hope yours went well!
We’re going to start this week off with a hell of a bang. We’ve got a 7″ from Italy’s own HIS ELECTRO BLUE VOICE, and boy this thing is heavy. Coming from the Bat Shit label back in October, this is one of two releases to come from HEBV during 2010. Their other release came from Holidays Records in Italy, and it’s a 12″ record titled “Wolf/ Worm”. They’ve got a few other releases out there besides these two things as well, and you can check them all out right here. Judging by that, these guys have been quite busy over the past few years, and it shows in their devilishly frightening music.
Two new songs come etched in this 7″ – the A-side is called “Animal Verses” and the B-side is called “Black Veils”. Both songs are equally ferocious and loud, coming at you full throttle with very little breathing room and enough intensity to send you straight to the floor. They take an exceptionally morbid and brooding approach to the music, with enough dark energy and satanic vibes to have you on your knees begging for mercy shortly after listening. There’s a wobbly metronome percussion covering both of the songs that gives them a constantly reverberating feel, almost like the sounds are continually bouncing off the walls in all the directions. The last quality that puts the icing on this devilishly haunting cake would be shouted, hateful vocals. Paired up with resonate bass lines, end-of-the-world sonics, fiery guitars, and an all too tormenting dark energy, HEBV is sure to please even the least gothic of listeners. Please enjoy and don’t forget to snag the 7″ before it’s gone – there’s only 500.
