moss / wolfmangler
MOSS was formed in Southampton in mid-2001 by three disturbed individuals, wishing to document their sick thoughts and macabre visions onto tape via the medium of discordant, torturous extreme doom metal. Bound by hatred, disgust and despair, MOSS create the heaviest and most tormenting extreme doom in existence. An expression of horrific bleakness and mind-numbing desolation through an otherworldly dirge. Grim, primitive, nihilistic...fukked up and eternally doomed.
WOLFMANGLER is the musical vision of D Smolken, a Polish political emigre,formerly of Dead Raven Choir. His music is slow, grim, noisy and shambling, a deconstructed hybrid of twisted folk and hinterland doom metal. Bowed double bass, electric bass and violin merge with sinister growls and whispered lyrics as WOLFMANGLER improvise dissonant doom riffs around lyrics taken from Hank Wiilams Jr, Georg Trakl and others, rich with the symbolism of life and decay. WOLFMANGLER create a listening experience at once unsettling, twisted and darkly beautiful.
