Black Breath - Heavy Breathing
A friend came over to my house last Spring with a CD in his hand. “Dude, you’ve got to hear this fucking shit,” he announced. “This fucking shit” being a reference to the debut full length from Seattle’s Black Breath. “Man, it’s on Southern Lord, it’s gonna suck,” I confidently bellowed. “I know they are a horrible label that only release talentless shit bands that make ‘artistic’ droning noises, but trust me on this, dickhead,” he pleaded. Well, he was right and I was wrong, and I can officially say I like a band on Southern Lord now. You simply do have to check this out. Equal parts Deathwish Hardcore and Sunlight-era Swedish Death Metal, Black Breath fucking crush, kill and destroy. How are the lyrics, you ask? “Come take this knife and slip it in the breast of the babe/drink the blood from the cup/reject Christ/spit on the cross…” Yeah, that good, and screamed venomously with the same vehemence you’d expect from an angry vegan/SxE frontman. All with the guitar sound of motherfucking Left Hand Path! Seriously, if you thought Trap Them nailed the tone, you haven’t heard shit yet. If it weren’t for the laid back pace of strip club jam “Unholy Virgin” this probably would’ve gotten a 10 and made it’s way into my Top 10 for 2010. Actually, upon repeated listens the song isn’t that bad, but it just seems out of place amidst the sea of high-energy, Christ-hating rage. In summary, dude, you’ve got to hear this fucking shit!
