Tempest - Passages

Death Rattle by Tempest

This must be the most apocalyptic music ever*. Tempest (myspace) play a combination of dark and straight-forward sludge with nuances of that shoegazing -Deafheaven- kind of black metal and frequently some grinding hardcore passages. The vocals are animalistic, almost like Geoff Rickley, and the final product has an intense emotive feel to it, like the breakneck-paced screamo bands of yore. Throw in some profound spoken soundsamples (The Great Dictator speech!) and this immense music would convert you from a nihilist into a darnright suicidal misanthropist. If the world hasn’t already done so.
