MP3: Hebosagil - Slightly confusing
Huge props are due to Teemu from Lupatarkastaja for turning me on to Hebosagil. And yes, they do sound like being run over by a train. Or more precisely, they sound like the fiercest crusty metal band you could imagine. Think early Entombed meets... Dystopia, perhaps? The recording is definitely reminiscent of the Sunlight Studios sound that Entombed helped make famous. Everything is raw and totally overblown, often crossing far into the red. I imagine that some of the harshness was slightly unintentional as, generally speaking, most engineers would be reluctant to let everything get so crazy distorted. Whatever the case, it don't matter a bit as it works perfectly in context for this music. A brutal recording just makes the band sound that much heavier.
If you like this track be sure to download the rest of the "Cosmic" EP: http://www.hebosagil.com/
I often talk about songs being taken out of context from the rest of the album, but this is definitely a case where the sum is greater than the individual parts. Very highly recommended!
