OVERMARS Affliction, Endocrine... Vertigo CD

French sludge that doesn't just drag, it collapses. Overmars arrived in 2005 with Affliction, Endocrine. Vertigo sounding like post-rock had been left out in the rain for six months and developed something chronic.

This is the kind of doom that owes as much to Godspeed as it does to Sleep, glacial and suffocating in equal measure. Overmars sit at that crossroads where sludge gets genuinely atmospheric and the heaviness becomes something you feel in your chest cavity rather than just your skull. If you already own the Celeste back catalogue and keep Dirge on rotation, this one belongs next to them.

Full length album, 2005. CD. France. Genre: Sludge/Doom.

Fans of: Neurosis, Celeste, Dirge.
