Die haters die…you can hang yourself on the new NOOSE tape Woe Unto You, Oh Earth And Sea. This Providence, RI band has fucking done it again – crafted a fucking classic. It’s 28 minutes of maniacal mayhem that will give you the power to stab the eyes out of those that speak against you. Is there one weak link on this tape? Hell no, because all five songs have the death factor. NOOSE know how to write songs that speak anger on many different levels, plus something about their sonic chaos is almost mediative. The weeping willow riffage on “Of Loss and Ruin” has coffins full of blackened empathy that will have you transfixed in a state of charred bliss. The vocals on this song and others sound like the singer is vomiting up bones into to mic, creating an audio catacombs effect. NOOSE plays the kind of fuck the system black metal punk that I could listen to 24/7. When you hear the songs on Woe Unto You, Oh Earth And Sea, you get a sense that the band is telling a story about all of the fucked shit that so-called humanity has done in the name of power. What strikes me about this release is how the band’s music is so melodic; in a psychotic sort of way, each instrument is screaming out in torment in it’s own tongue. Unholy demon teeth, the song “Beastial Warlvst” is a perfect blend of disgusting d-beat cooked over the sizzling flame of some diseased black metal, and the warrior charge in this composition is insane. NOOSE killed shit with their first tape, Death and Hatred to All, but with Woe Unto You, Oh Earth And Sea they brought their filth to even lower depths! This band inspires us to do what we do, that is why we are so stoked that CVLT Nation is streaming Woe Unto You, Oh Earth And Sea in full below. Their new tape will be on sale HERE on the 17th, plus you can pick it up on their east coast tour this week. Check out the dates for the NOOSE onslaught after the jump…they will be sharing the stage with some sick bands!!!
