More like the sway of an iceberg in a frozen sea, this ultra-dense groove is intoxicating and almost immediately memorable. A huge wall of sound stands in front of you, powered by a dense drumming performance that almost overwhelms the ravaged vocal growls and the slowly evolving guitar sound from crush to bluesy swagger.
