BLACK ELK s/t CD
The eponymous debut from Portland, Oregon's BLACK ELK is a raging destructo rock eruption, heavy, catchy, and flattening. This ten song album contains a creeped out conglom of carnivorous charred hardcore punk, the sludgy power of primo Pacific Northwest tarpit rawk (think KARP, MELVINS, and early SOUNDGARDEN as reference points), twitchy Midwestern noise rage somewhere between Am Rep Records (circa-1991) and a more rabid DIE KREUZEN, and a goatheaded psychedelic backwoods black mass/dance party risen to a freakin' fever pitch. Total crush. Produced by Mike Lastra at Smegma Studios (EARTH, THRONES, JACKIE O MOTHERFUCKER).
Take the power of Hammerhead, the angst of Guzzard, the chops of Dazzling Killmen, the hand-in-the-underwear debauchery of the Jesus Lizard and the punk spirit of Black Flag, put it all in a dank basement full of angry bees and you'll come close to the sound and fury that is Black Elk. -43rocket.com
