DAYGLO MOURNING / BLUDY GYRES - Rope Enough For Two split
Black Doomba Records
Here we have two doom metal bands from Atlanta, Georgia. One of whom I know about and the other totally brand new. Let's start with the one I know about and that's BLUDY GYRES. This band is known to me in a way because it features guitarist Chris Abbamonte and bassist/vocalist Tommy Stewart both of whom were in HALLOWS EVE.
A quick story for ya. I've got a friend who is the biggest HALLOW'S EVE fan around. He even booked a show here with them years ago. In the past every time I was partying over at his house, he'd get a little drunk and then put on History of Terror box set. Then he'd flash the cover at me and say "This is True Metal".
So a few years ago I learned about another Tommy Stewart side project called Tommy Stewart's Dyerwulf. So I sent my friend a link to a single from them. He checked it out, didn't like it and then sent me back a link to the song "Death & Insanity" followed by the words "True Metal".
BLUDY GYRES contribution to this split here is a remastered version of a previously released song by them, “Behold! Your World Now Burns”. The cut is a seventeen and a half minute opus of SABBATH-ian pleasures, 70's era KING CRIMSON and psych. It's a weird cut starting off but after listening to it a few times you get the idea that BLUDY GYRES is and will be a band to watch in the future.
On the other side of the coin we have a three piece stoner/sludge act, DAYGLO MOURNING, who supply three cuts of raw, simple but thunderous fuckin doom. The only problem I have with their contribution is that the caustic vocals, which are a breath of fresh air, are low in the mix. Then again when the fuckin beast from 20,000 fathoms is marching down mainstreet, crushing cars and eating people it's hard to hear vocals.
This split is a great representation of two cool sounding bands who don't follow trends. One's pushing the rage while the other touches on contemplation. Both are great at what they do.
