Sharp Nine

Untimed (Mausoleum)
by J. Lianna Ness

It’s the Swedish Soundgarden! The vocalist sounds just like Chris Cornell ululating in clipped English, but the music is much darker than anything from Seattle. Pensive and esoteric lyrics coalesce with swarthy, blaring guitars. The music is melodic, haunting, and heavy, but it tends to get redundant after the first few songs. If you like moody, gritty metal, check this out.
