Man, we thought the new STUMM CD we just reviewed a few weeks ago was a new low in crawling trance-hate...then we land this full length of disgustingly nihilistic doom-grind from Australia. oof. This thing is a fucking bruiser. From the miserable band name to their grisly tarpit noise rock delivery, this is crushing negative energy from start to finish. DAD THEY BROKE ME are heavy as fuck sludge/noise, sort of running paralell to EYEHATEGOD’s feedback-spewing doomcore, but actually more like THE JESUS LIZARD, if THE JESUS LIZARD was a thousand times heavier and slower, throwing in stoned sort-of-blastbeats. The CD starts off with a low, submerged sine/drone and glitchy oscillations, similiar to something from the LOTUS EATERS, and then the band erupts into a noxious, cancerous sludge jam, like UNSANE or ZENI GEVA playing through blown amps on 10 and with a singer who sounds like he’s gargling thumbtacks, one of the most anguished and painful death-croaks we’ve ever heard. Hateful, heavy, NOISY and super-discordant. It gets more angular and antisocial as the songs progress, reminding us more and more of The JESUS LIZARD filtered through a weird "extreme doom" lens. Total speaker melting pummel. Shit gets even darker and doomier as we get into songs like "Through The Cracks" and "Nothing To No One", pure negative energy, like KHANATE gone math rock, or UNEARTHLY TRANCE attacking the Am Rep back catalog, as skuzzy feedback and random anti-guitar noise is slopped everywhere. Fucking crushing.
