SOUTHERN SPRUCE – ‘MAKE PERSIA GREAT AGAIN’
Another project from The End Commune. A conceptual single, two rabble-rousing tracks of colourful hooligan Black Metal with a clear post punk influence in the sound, thuggish and yet melodiously simplistic riffs and prideful, declarative vocal with audible brute enunciations amidst the shrieks, incensed and aflame with righteous fury. Punk chords underpinned with robust and uncomplicated Drums, very simplistic and dismal, arrogant and stoic, less psychedelic and esoteric than their brother-sisters in the sect of Slutet, more a clenched fist than a lotus palm. Reminds me at times of ‘Totenlieder’, at others of ‘Exhuming the Grave of Yeshua’, though Southern Spruce conjures it’s own unique audial illusions and allegories from a similar pool of raw Punk and despotic Black Metal. I await their full length eagerly.
