Goatsblood's Drull is music to be seen through rat's
eyes, to be heard through the cracks of sewer lids in your most
drug-addled neighborhood. These Canadian juggernauts of bloated,
blackened sludge have stirred their cauldron of creativity
summoning nine new hymns of tortured, tyrannical trudgery akin to
vintage Melvins, Eyehategod, and Burning Witch. At their slowest,
most oppressive and ominous, Goatblood feels like a rusty corkscrew
gradually being coiled up your urethra. At their most harmonious
and chord-broken, Goatsblood is the toothpick-in-mouth Southern
Cross outlaw walking behind the rows with the blackbird perched on
his left shoulder. Like slurping sweet molasses off a popsicle
stick, Drull's insular hatred and detuned diabolical
depression yields a cathartic, yet snide smile on the face of the
listener. With production values handled by Mr. Steve Austin of
Today Is The Day, rest assured that every morsel of bombastic
nihilistic negativity Goatsblood spews is articulately captured.
Drull leaves you feeling judged and violated, but you'll
love it because this is a soundtrack to expose the kicking and
screaming victim in all of us. Not for the weak of heart, stomach,
or soul…
