Buzzov*en - Sore (1994)
WARNING : The lyrics and music were done under the influence of drugs like crack and heroin and periods of homelessness and depression.
Alright here is the first album I am going to review. It is Sore from the sludge metal band Buzzov*en.
Track after track contains sampled intros which sets you up for perhaps one of the most vicious, violent albums ever created, and certainly not in a posturing sense, but in the purest, most undiluted manner. You name it - careless abandon, violence, hardcore heroin use, and theft. This band lived it like they played it. They, particularly founder Kirk, were able to harness this negativity into one of the most potent vessels of hatred and rage since early hardcore punk.
The album captures the punishing, hardcore brutality of this trio at their peak by capturing the mammoth drumming abilities of Ash Lee, the mean / nasty guitar tone of Kirk Fisher as well as his rage filled vocals that honestly are second to none.
I suggest picking this monster album up.
This came out in 94. From your review I thought it was recent, Just listening to it on spotify and I can't understand the lyrics but the beat is fast and good. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteAh, my bad man. Shoulda put the year of release on there. Also no problem. Glad you enjoyed it.
