Tree of Sores' six track debut whitens the knuckles. It's a cold, dark tunnel of anxiety and unease, the intoxicating melancholy and throbbing riffs that pound at the side of the head like an oncoming panic attack. Lurking somewhere between the apocalyptic, metallic crust of Amebix and Antisect, and the thinking man's riff storm of Neurosis, you don't fall asleep to Leeds trio Tree of Sores like you do to Isis or Pelican. If you fall asleep to Tree of Sores, something horrible crawls forward inch by inch, takes your unmoving form in its arms, and abandons you in a cold and desolate landscape as evocatively vile as the band's name.

REVIEW: TREE OF SORES 'TREE OF SORES' (WITCH HUNTER)

You know of the bands Agrimonia and Link? Both have stuff on moshpit tragedy records. Very similar to this.
ReplyDeleteI've heard Agrimonia, was alright - didn't blow me away.
