Tides Of Sulfur are a band from Wales that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black, sludge, doom, death metal and grindcore and this is a review of their 2023 album "Apathy Chasm" which will be released in September by APF Records.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also adds in a lot of blast beats, tremolo picking and grindcore elements. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Influences of doom and sludge metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while spoken word parts are also utilized on a couple of songs. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the riffing also capturing the brutality and heaviness of death metal and one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length, growls can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Tides Of Sulfur expands on the grindcore elements while also stacking the the blackened sludge/death metal style they established on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the darker side of human consciousness and experience.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Tides of Sulfur and if you are a fan of black, sludge, doom, death emtal and grindcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anxiety Veteran" "Disgruntled" and "Open The Vein". 8 out of 10.
