INFO
Goddamn this stuff rules! Laudanum play an
interesting hybrid of sounds that draws from sludge,
stoner, crust, and hardcore, then combines them into
a unique and lethal concoction. There is a definite
presence of a dark angular groove in most of the
songs that is catchy as hell but much different than the
more sabbath/southern style riffing of a lot of sludge
bands. The bass is thick and dense, giving everything
a very suffocating atmosphere while the drums pound
away relentlessly destroying whatever gray matter is
left in your skull. I love the vocals too, which
definitely have a crust/grindcore edge to them with a
lot of trade offs between each member with harsh
shouts, low death growls, and fierce screams all
being utilized. This is just a killer record from start to
finish with a lot of great samples and the always
stellar artwork of Judd Hawk
(who is in the band by the way!).
The Apotheker is a powerful work that should
appeal to fans of Leechmilk and Dystopia, that whole
crossover kind of sound that mixes the heavy sludge
with a lot of other elements as well. There's a lot
going on this record from straight up stoner rock
riffing to brutal crust elements and the variety just
keeps me coming back again and again.
