TIDES OF SULFUR - Paralysis of Reason EP
Sludgelord Records
You ever try to fit a square peg into a round hole? I'm speaking metaphorically of course not literally, don't be an idiot. So yeah if it doesn't work then you move on. TIDES OF SULFUR are a band that makes it work. What we have here is a three piece sludge metal act from the UK that combine plenty of outside influences into their brand of extremism.
TIDES OF SULFUR are not relatively new to the music scene. They've been around since 2011 and over time have accumulated a nice bunch of releases. I'm talking about an EP, a split release, a full length which came out in 2016 and a compilation of old stuff aka: Pot of Piss at the End of the Rainbow which they put out in 2015.
Now getting back to influences musically TIDES OF SULFUR start out with a somewhat familiar Southern US style of sludge as a canvas. Next they pelt it with savage yet simplistic punk rock aggressiveness. Toss in some death metal groove, blackened vocals and a bunch of samples. It's definitely a throwback to the late 80s with an acknowledgement to modern extreme metal. You could easily hear this as grindcore played slow. It's definitely one of the more exciting things coming out of the UK.
