Heavy Baby Sea Slugs - Teenage Graveyard Party EP (2017)
Texas’ own Heavy Baby Sea Slugs offer
a Japan / Taiwan tour EP, blending parts A.N.S. with parts Sabertooth
Zombie as these guys do the hardcore-with-heavy-sludge-breakdowns
thing right. Clocking in at just over sixteen minutes, Heavy Baby
Sea Slugs bring the ruckus, starting out with a track titled “King
Midas of Shit”, a fast-moving slide-guitar-fueled slice of hardcore
with one of the best breakdowns this side of the Human Performance
series of 7”s. Eponymous track “Teenage Graveyard Party”
starts with a shambling, slow-spinning, smoked-out riff giving a
taste of what’s to come later, before dropping out in a quick
hardcore spurt.
“Pit Bait” brings the twists
opening up as an In Defense-sounding circle pit anthem before
dropping into darker territory sounding like black metal, and finally
moving onto and expanding the sludgier grounds the Baby Sea Slugs are
capable of. Finally, magnum opus “Zero-One” starts out HEAVY,
harkening back to some of the early days of Boris and shambling along
as heavy as possible before being swallowed up in a pit of feedback.
Great stuff!
