Tovarish are a band from Providence, Rhode Island that plays a mixture of experimental, noise, drone, dark ambient, black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "If the War Comes Tomorrow" which will be released in July by Argonauta Records.
Spoken word samples start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction along with the riffs also adding in a small amount of dark sounding melodies. A touch of black metal can also be heard in some of the screams along with some ambient style synths also being added into some parts of the music.
Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the music while harsh noises are also added into some parts of the songs. Spoken word samples are also brought onto some of the later tracks as well as one song also introducing acoustic guitars onto the recording.
At times the music also gets very avant garde and experimental sounding as well as all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them. As the album progresses a brief use of field recordings, female vocals and demonic growls can also be heard, The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover Soviet era Communism themes.
In my opinion Tovarish are a very great sounding mixture of experimental, noise, drone, dark ambient, black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "They Know" "Silver And Lead" From Trench To Triumph" and "If The War COmes Tomorrow". 8 out of 10.
