Sweat
Gloom Pride CD
Flint, Michigan’s SWEAT doesn’t merely hint at residing in the shadows of the human experience, the band immerses the listener in every shade of darkness, seen and unseen. Jagged, towering riffs form the framework that is blanketed in gorgeous, haunting melodies. Infinite layers of twisting and swerving waves articulately emote uniquely complex stories. Pounding and trance-like guitar rhythms give way to frantic and almost unhinged bursts of raw and visceral screams, both literal and figurative. From open wounds to layered scars, Gloom Pride transforms an array of colors to black, and back again.
