NOOTHGRUSH: Kashyyyk Vinyl LP [30th Anniversary Colour Vinyl]

Noothgrush named an album after the Wookiee home planet and then proceeded to make it sound like the planet was dying. That's the kind of band they were. San Jose's most uncompromising sludge metal outfit spent the nineties building a catalog of slow, crushing doom that influenced basically everyone who came after in that space and got credit from almost none of them.

Kashyyyk is thirty years old and it still sounds like being slowly buried. The kind of dark, grinding doom metal record that exists at the intersection of Eyehategod misery and the most oppressive ends of alternative metal, this is essential listening if your idea of a good time involves a record that makes the room feel heavier. The anniversary colour wax pressing is the appropriate way to mark three decades of something this unrelenting. Limited run, which for a reissue this specific means it won't be around long.

12" vinyl LP, limited edition colour wax, 30th anniversary edition. Genre: sludge metal, doom, crust. Origin: USA (San Jose, California).

Fans of: Eyehategod, Grief, Iron Monkey.
