It’s Friday! Prepare yourself for an onslaught of Friday Freebies to usher you into the weekend, starting with Portland, Oregon’s own doom-thrashers ASH EATER and their LP out just last month, Breathe The Smoke!
JJ Koczan (The Obelisk) said: “[The Siren’s Call] is the second track to be featured from the self-issued album behind ‘Any Port in a Storm,’ and a quicker encapsulation of their sound at its fiercest as represented on the 33-minute…record, picking up from the doomier opener “Earth Must Be Fed” before higher-speed riffs contort and twist in restless thrash tradition with the barking vocals of bassist KENNY COOMBS (also of LÁGOON and their grungy offshoot OOPSY DAZEY) meting out verses like a 1983 demo tape that just happened to invent death metal or something, and a blowout vibe that extends even to the METALLICA-style snare militarism of Alden Elias as the song careens to its finish…”
Short songs or long, jammed out or throw-an-elbow thrashed, the follow-up to ASH EATER‘s debut is marked by an immediate individuality in its presentation, and where one’s head in considering ‘heavy thrash’ as a concept goes to earlier HIGH ON FIRE, that’s a small piece of what’s happening here.
Steve Howe (Outlaws of the Sun) said: “ASH EATER plays a mixture of Thrashed Out Doom/Stoner Metal with comparisons to HIGH ON FIRE, MOTÖRHEAD and early era LORD DYING. The band bring a seedy and dirge ridden style of Psychedelic Rock to the album with an aggressive fast-paced sound that oozes 1980’s Classic Thrash Metal Attitude with a killer Speed Metal flow that works amazingly well with their modern day Psych Stoner Metal approach.”
From the PR wire, Kyle SB (Good Boy PR) says:
“Boardsliding their way out of the murky depths of the Portland heavy scene, ASH EATER arrive on their wheeled steeds with crushed beer in one hand and a flaming guitar promising nothing but sweet riffs in the other.
The trio of skaters, fronted by the bassist for fellow PDX acts LÁGOON and OOPSY DAZEY, deal in a ferocious mix of doom metal, thrash, and grubby psychedelia that congeals into a riotous sound as fit for a skate session as it is for a smoke-fogged mosh.
Featured in Thrasher magazine and infamous for starting some rowdy pit action in the bowl at Tactics’ Northwest Open skating fest, ASH EATER are climbing the rock ‘n roll mountain, and are set to plant their flag with their second LP “Breathe The Smoke“.
