Have you ever tried to listen to happy music when your heart is heavy? It’s counterintuitive. Light and airy music won’t dig into your chest to expose the darkness within. To really feel, to really heal that deep pain you need to listen to something like the s/t record from DEEP TOMB (feat. members of Cave State, H.A.R.M., Violencia, and Bruce Campbell). The sludge sounds that this band creates feel like my flesh is being pummelled with a meat tenderizer. Crushing my blood vessels with pulverizing percussion and tearing at my skin with grating riffs so that I can fully experience the heaviness that’s sitting like an iron cage in my chest. Their s/t EP comes out on vinyl via King Of The Monsters Records on August 25th — pre-order it here. Right now, if you’re in need of an emotional release or a headbang sesh, then hit play on it right here:
