Description

A split cd between two sludge doom acts, Mose (meaning sludge in their local Flemmish dialiect), from Ghent in Belgium and Hog Mountin from Alabama in Usa. The three Hog Mountin tracks that open the album were recorded in Fairview in 2003. Their blackened sluggish doom should be a delight for every dark doomhead out there. Massive downtuned riffs with slow, one-note-after-each other solo’s like small rays of light that fall down from the darkened heavens. Vocal duties are handled by Judd, and he does it the right way. Filthy and mean, yet this music could have done with even more evil vocals. Something like Senthil should do. But hey, we do not live in a perfect world, so we cannot expect every band to mutilate themselves for vocal recordings, right? After these three tracks you have to adjust the volume a bit since the producer weren�t aware of that the sound on a split album should at least be on a similar level. Mose speed things up a bit with the three tracks that they recorded at the Yellow Tape in April of 2006. The Mose tracks are varying between middle and slow-paced Stoner riffs, they often remind me of Cathedral and when Klootoor unlocks his throat that resemblance becomes even more obvious. He sounds like a Lee Dorrian trying to be angry, but realizes that he actually has a rather enjoyable life, thus can’t find the much needed hateful injection of venom. A bit of a pity, this could have done with some extra aggression. In regards of split albums being a band battle, Hog Mountin would easily win this, both in terms of musicianship and feeling. Mose proved to be a good runner’s up, despite their lack of aggression. So if you’re into sludge/stoner doom, you should definitely give this split a shot. It might hook you up with one or two new, good bands.
