I Am A Distant Memory Falling Away From Myself
#101) Hateful Abandon - Famine (or Into the Bellies of Worms) (2008)
1. Rats Whisper Murder
2. Diamond Spine
3. Riding the Blade
4. Avalanche
5. Boiling Seas
6. Painters Rope
7. Lungs
this is their first album which i randomly picked up because the distro description was something along the lines of "what if Joy Division was a black metal band?" sold.
upon listening to the album though it's a little more than that. to me it's a combination of the cold, bleak despair of Joy Division with The Cure at their gothiest and some touches of black metal here and there. i really dug this album. i've always liked that old school bass heavy goth rock sound and the combo of goth vocals and black metal screams works really well.
these guys released their 2nd album last year and i'll definitely be checking it out.
