Hyatari - The Light Carriers

If Sunn O))) and Godflesh had children, not only would they be ugly deformed little bastards, but they would probably sound like Hyatari. Slow, dirge like waves of distended and distorted sound of tectonic scale lurch and grind over each other becoming at once formless yet monolithic. At times the album reminds me of the ebb and tides of the cold, cold universe in all its ugly, unpolished glory. The whole record plays as one song and flows quite nicely together. Most of the guitar tones would make any fan of Sunn O))) an instant devotee, but the clincher here is the addition of the drum machine and the use of actual riffs. This is also where the Godflesh comparisons are wrought. Akin to something like Godflesh on horse tranqulizers, this album is a sonic beast to be administered daily throughout the week.
