Speaking of Invisible Oranges: Anthony Abboreno wrote a piece today on a band I’ve never heard of, called Slugathor. Based soley on the band’s name, I decided to check them out, and guess what? They rule. I could tell you why, but Abboreno did a pretty good job and I’m lazy, so I’m just going to quote him here:

Grinding riffs coalesce, pummel you, then vanish into the murk. Seasick guitar leads writhe. The main vocals gurgle in a fleshy lower register, but are often doubled by a phantasmal scream. This is my favorite way for death metal to sound: possessed with occult life.

If that sounds appealing – and it really should – head over to Invisible Oranges for a mp3, or just check out Slugathor on MySpace. I am going to pay very close attention to these dudes from now on.
