YELLOWTOOTH
'Disgust'
(Orchestrated Misery Recordings)
Yellowtooth
hails out of Indiana, but when you listen to the music I
automatically figured they were from the South as they have that
southern nuance to their sound. This band features Peter Clemens as
some in the scene will surely remember him from bands like Shades
of Grey,
Sea
of Tranquillity,
Invasion
(interviewed in Canadian Assault back in the day) and Skullview,
while the other two members came from Chronic
Disorder.
Yellowtooth
play a rocking type of sludge metal, but maybe not as heavy on the
feedback as many sludge bands like Eyehategod,
Iron
Monkey,
Cavity
and the like. But 'Disgust'
is
rocking, the riffage is really heavy and crushing yet always quite
catchy, seemingly keeping at bay the doom tag. By my ear you can hear
the members death metal roots in the guitar tuning / playing and also
the vocals are pretty deep death metal growling, but kept clear
enough that you make out most of what is sung. This is just some good
rockin’ simplistic sludge with some balls and nice groove riffs,
but not over done or cheesy like that mallcore shit or whatever they
call it these days. This is record is nothing spectacularly
groundbreaking or mind numbingly great by any means, but it is a
solid and even good album, a fine debut, but with a couple demos
under their belt and countless years experience that should be
expected. It is worth a listen.
