It’s been eight long years since we last heard from Jersey-based doom crushers Cowardice, at least as far as full-length records are concerned. Yes, they’ve had some split releases and an EP, but their upcoming new album “Atavist” is an absolute monster of a piece of work, a double album hammering with 11 tracks over 84 minutes and split into two different parts. It’s an experience, and it’s mighty, and today we have a taste of it.
“Clairvoyance Anxiety” greets you into the second part of the record, and it’s a 10:26 battering ram. Crushing growls and a drubbing pace leave bruising all around, feeling otherworldly and vile. This is a beast that clenches and never relents until the time has run its course. Numbing, with gutting wails, and scorching leads that make the last third of the song smoke, this will give you a pretty good idea of what’s in store for you on “Atavist.” If you like slowly melting, sludgy doom served in longer form, then you’ll have a feast on which to engorge, you hungry weirdo. Song is below, and beneath that are links where you need to go to grab this fucker.
Oh. And we’ll have a full write-up on “Atavist” next week.
