Album Review
Ragnar of Ravensfjord
Reviewed 2009-09-01
Crazed grindy power violence-ish ragers with just drum & bass. This Portland duo also have touches of strange bits of lo-fi improv. A bit of Man Is The Bastard, a less spastic & noisy Godstomper, and a much fiercer version of The Locust? Overall, pretty interesting, albeit challenging stuff with plenty of stop/starts.

((((1)))) Bassy & drum heavy bursts with blasts and rests plus screamy vocals and some straight up signing.
((((2))))) Fast, pummeling and off-kilter, settles down then goes into a heavy “progger-violence” attack
((((3)))) Crazed maniacal blast & bursts. Chaotic but to the point.
(((((4)))))) Screamy vocals, huge low end, rhythmic and a lot of loud-ass drums.

SIDE B

(((1))) Slow, “ta-daaaa” one note resonating with distant vocals.
Spastic but calculated with blasting drums and story-telling & screamy vocals.
(((2))) Mellow, jazzy intro then lurching/lunging heaviness with bass & lots of cymbals.
((((3))))) “Bla-bla-bla-blarrrrrrrrgggghghrrhghg!” Repeat 10x
(((((4))))) Slow & brooding, “free improv-er violence”? with gnarly screams & plenty of feedback.
