Comment: the Curitiba, Brazil-based duo Giant Gutter
From Outer Space has been very active during 2016. Some days ago they released
their third issue Stumm under
Sinewave. Before it they issued Black
Bile (Promo), and before that Set
Adrift under Sinewave. This
handful of tracks contains many elements pulled out from different metal and
rock subdivisions. Instrumentally the punch is driven by heavy noodling of the
drums and bass guitar, though it is not the noodling in the classical sense of
rock and metal music. More profoundly, it does mean relentless key changes to
be appeared throughout the course, a shitloads of dodges and plunges between
stoner rock/metal, math rock, technical/progressive metal. I am quite provoked
about the question – might it be the sort of improvised music or all these
elements are previously rehearsed to be played punctually? The energy coming
out from these combinations is another case of appeal. More concretely, it is
not the energy of pop inflected music, it is quite murky, silent and glowering.
Thumbs up!
