Dirge, unearthly unreal pain, uncaged anger all swirl around me as I listen to the extra rad new split between Seven Sisters of Sleep & Children of God. The 12 inch came out this week via A389 Recordings. Both of these bands have come to create 24 minutes of rancid rage that will shake your insides! Children of God is a band that CVLT Nation has been digging since we started this zine, and after hearing their three new songs, we are only going to be representing them harder now. Their sound seem to be morphing into this crazy ugly monster who is slowing down, but just as sinister as before. Children of God are building thick walls of tortured bass around their murder beats. If they wanted to, they could run your ass over with speed, but it’s when that decide that they want you to die slowly that you will taste danger. It seems like the singer swallowed a giant pill of I don’t give a fuck before he went into the vocal booth, and his delivery is pure power. Children of God’s songwriting is so awesome because they have no rules for the way they construct their songs, which brings the chaos to your face even more. Their tones give a sense of being buried alive before your are dug up by unholy drumming. I know for a fact that when Children of God record their full length, the world will know this band can’t be fucked with!
What do we have here? Seven Sisters of Sleep doing what they do fucking better than ever! This band has taken blues, SST punk, doom and hardcore, and put them into a huge pot of FTW, then turned the flame up high until it’s all boiled down to their caustic sound. Is SSOS a heavy band? Hell motherfucking yes, and they come with mammoth riffs! For three songs on this split, they pound the listener with an atomic rhythm section that opens into catacombs of black resin-filled groove. What I like about these songs is that as much as they allow you to expand your high, they also give you the courage to punch a cop in the grill. Seven Sisters of Sleep are rad because they can southern fry a riff, then turn the same riff into sonic speed! I dig the way this band uses melody in a harsh way, and you feel their soul in every second of every song. Seven Sisters of Sleep are a kick ass band that puts the right amount of emotion into their songs. Unholy hell, their vocalist has a style all of his own; it reminds me of when I first heard ODB bust a rhyme unique.
