Sur les conseils de DarKou j'écoute Black Tusk. Du metal auto-détrminé "Swamp Metal"...
Tu vois Red Fang ? Bha c'est un peu ça mais en plus bourrin, basique et bourrin.
Les mecs ils sont buffle ascendant tractopelle avec des gènes de forgerons alcooliques des abysses infernales.... et ça gueule et ça tabasse et ça démoli des cordes...

Generation of Vipers – Guilt Shrine Review
By Dear Hollow
I’ve heard Generation of Vipers described as a Neurosis-meets-Amenra plus a substantial shot of aggression.1 With four full-lengths and a split with fellow Tennessee post-or-sludge-adjacent metallers under their belt, the act’s sound remains stalwart—or stagnant, depending on the listener. Thick and bottom-heavy riffs dominate, from staggered Isis-esque rhythms, and rolling punk-sludge beatdowns à la Black Tusk, to ominous plucking straight outta Abraham. Although a decade exists between the last full-length Coffin Wisdom and Guilt Shrine, it’s business as usual. Guilt Shrine will not change your mind about Generation of Vipers or post-metal in any way, but the aggression adds a jolt of intensity that rises above the muck.
Guilt Shrine’s tracklist tumbles across your ears like boulders in a landslide, Generation of Vipers chugging and barking their way through seven tracks and thirty-six minutes. While the balanced opener “Joyless Grails” and the southern-fried bruiser “Lux Inversion” deal with a sturdy balance of haunting melodies, highlights embrace the attack of cutthroat intentions. “In the Wilderness,” for instance, features a swarm of vicious riffs that hit you like the arsenal of post-metal Hammer Bro, balancing shredding palm-muting, punk chord progressions, and an unshakeable groove to get stuck in your head. “Elijah,” although not without its fair share of menacing placidity, utilizes these plucking movements and the empty silence to amplify the crushing weight that follows, concluding riffs pushed to a shuddering maximum. Generation of Vipers features a solid mix and production, guitars able to morph between galloping mammoth chugs and stinging melodies, while Joshua Holt’s vocals are sermonic and fiery, commanding the brig with charisma and fury, although the production has its issues.
Generation of Vipers adds a neat steel toe to the boot of post-metal. But the blueprint remains rooted in Through Silver in Blood and Panopticon, with touches of the Masses, and very little else sticks out beyond classic post-metal accomplished aggressively. This means that the crime that Generation of Vipers is guilty of is a lack of memorability resulting from the maximum safety and the seeming recognizability of the riffs and melodies. Their Amenra-isms are sparse, limited to albeit tasteful forays like “Elijah” and “Guilt Shrine,” or passages of “Lux Inversion,” but even the latter’s melodic template feels a tad like a weaker version. After the relatively pointless interlude “Doesn’t Mean Anything,” the most blatantly anticlimactic track here is easily “A Quiet Life,” no thanks to the production in which the ominous plucking quickly overpowers the riffs. It’s a problem that leaves a stain on “Guilt Shrine” as well—robbing the two tracks of their instrumental punch. As such, the album structure is a tad uneven, with the back half robbed of momentum.
Generation of Vipers isn’t interested in shaking up post-metal, and that’s fine. Guilt Shrine picks up exactly where Coffin Wisdom left off even after a decade, with sludgy riffs and an undeniable fire burning in the trio’s belly, with a touch of menace and darkness. However, although the production falters on the back end and there are weaker songs aboard, Guilt Shrine is a pleased-as-punch post-metal album that sounds a lot like Neurosis or Isis. I’m pleased to have found them, and I look forward to what they’ve got next.

Black Tusk – The Way Forward Review
By Dear Hollow
Black Tusk is one of those bands that are eternally 3.0, and I’ve always been completely content with that. My first experience with the Savannah, Georgia veterans was 2011’s Set the Dial, a veritable riff-fest of sludge to counter the swampy slogs I had only been acquainted with (namely Thou and Eyehategod). In ways, the trio stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Mastodon and Baroness without the lofty ambition: you come for the sludge, you stay for the riffs. Or something. But that’s it, you bang your head to that filthy, slightly southern fried riffage, and you like it or you don’t. The trio is now a quartet and represents a new chapter of Black Tusk.
That doesn’t mean that Black Tusk is settling down. With new member Derek Lynch on bass and vocals, the trio simply adds more firepower to their arsenal. The Way Forward embodies a theme of change lyrically, and hints of melodic and rhythmic complexity are added. Black Tusk makes no argument for elevating itself past “Mastodon but less ambition and more riffs” but if you’re looking for thick-ass riffs flying around your head with punky simplicity and sludgy meatheadedness, look no further. The Way Forward is Black Tusk through and through, even if its main weapon of the riff can sputter periodically.
As you may have guessed, The Way Forward is Black Tusk’s version of “THA RIFF” but sludge style, and that has not changed since the act’s foundation. Tracks like “Out of Grasp,” “Lessons Through Deception,” and “Flee from Dawn” conjure the sludgy riffs of Mastodon’s Blood Mountain, punky speed colliding with feedback squeals and tough-guy vocals, which are given more variety with Lynch’s contributions: a totality of barks, shrieks, and growls far more forward than in previous incarnations. The three main highlights are “Harness (The Alchemist),” “Breath of Life,” and closer “The Way Forward,” which embrace chunky riffage to the umpteenth degree, while also enveloping it in a suffocating haze and melodic touches that add to colossal quality, enhanced by instrumental interlude “Ocean of Obsidian.” “Breath of Life” in particular flows extremely organically, its centerpiece status justified as a climactic spoke, while the emotive progressions of the title track end the album on a very sweet note.
While the riffs dominate the entirety of The Way Forward, a run in the back half falls tragically short because of its lack of variation. “Dance on Your Grave,” “Against the Undertow,” and “Lift Yourself” start deceptively well enough, sludge’s main attraction of thick riffs and feedback dominating in the ways you expect, but then nothing changes over the course of each respective three minutes, the same riff repeating ad nauseam until a bitterly frail conclusion. “Lift Yourself” in particular feels like the weakest whimper in Black Tusk’s catalog. Not that riff-centric shenanigans are meant to sear into the brain, but even good tracks like “Brushfire,” “Lessons Through Deception,” and “Out of Grasp” are hardly memorable, offering beatdowns but little else. Unfortunately, while Black Tusk does a good job ascending from the monotony of T.C.B.T., it does not justify its plight beyond its own discography like Set the Dial or Taste the Sin.
The Way Forward embraces more vocal variety, but little else feels like a progression – if anything, the highs feel higher and the lows feel lower. Black Tusk is still punky sludge with kickass riffs to boot, but with a three-song streak of gnarly mediocrity coursing through the back half, it’s hard to embrace The Way Forward in its entirety. If “Against the Undertow” and “Lift Yourself” are any indication, then we should be worried; however, if “Breath of Life” and “The Way Forward” are the trajectory, then we should celebrate. However, with more tracks falling into kickass territory like “Harness (The Alchemist)” and “Flee from Dawn,” we shouldn’t even think about Black Tusk’s future and focus on getting lost in the sauce and bashing our brains around with punky, riffy sludge.
