::: :::
::: Sacraments of Pestilence, the new EP from Carrion Bloom, :::
::: commences with sounds drawn from the musical forms that :::
::: contribute most urgently to the bandÆs sonic profile. The :::
::: opening 30 seconds of ôDissolutusö constitute brittle but :::
::: sweeping guitar tones that you might encounter on any number :::
::: of demos produced by any number of bands claiming :::
::: blood-bound allegiance to black metalÆs Scandinavian second :::
::: wave. Things get more interesting when those tones shift :::
::: into riff mode, and the band charges into crustier :::
::: territory; the move is confirmed at the songÆs 2:20 mark, :::
::: which may have you flashing on Wolf BrigadeÆs earlier stuff. :::
::: Like Carrion BloomÆs Heretic Howl (2021), Sacraments of :::
::: Pestilence flirts with blackened crust (a sub-subgenre label :::
::: suggesting a near-incoherent ethos that is painful for this :::
::: reviewer to invoke, much less try to think) but more often :::
::: produces black metal songs that romance crustÆs affinity for :::
::: rusty breastplates and muddy, bloody boots. :::
::: :::
::: The players in Carrion Bloom arrive at that array of sounds :::
::: and sensibilities through their various and circuitous :::
::: travels in heavy music. Frontman Tucker Zappas was a member :::
::: of the mighty Fell Voices ù a terrific black metal project :::
::: that seems to be on permanent hiatus (too badà). Zappas has :::
::: also played with drummer Max in Oakland-based black metal :::
::: band Akatharsia. Bass player James Henderson is a stalwart :::
::: in OaklandÆs scene, providing his talents on multiple :::
::: instruments for artsy doom band Exulansis and a few other :::
::: projects. The Bay Area stomping grounds have imbued Carrion :::
::: BloomÆs crusty metal with some local flavor ù a hint or two :::
::: of Skaven, an occasional whiff of AtramentÆs distinctive :::
::: stenchcore. :::
::: :::
::: Parsing the influences is sort of fun, but eventually, an EP :::
::: needs good songs. What may be Carrion BloomÆs most :::
::: convincing aesthetic gets articulated and explored at some :::
::: length over the EPÆs last three tracks, and the EP achieves :::
::: some real momentum. The pace picks up significantly over :::
::: those minutes, and a fuzzy, filthy guitar tone reminiscent :::
::: of Raspberry BulbÆs punkiest stuff gets an energetic :::
::: workout. ôInto the Lungs of Lambsö has a particularly :::
::: vicious vibe, a couple simple riffs relentlessly played and :::
::: ZappasÆs hoarse bark issuing urgent ù if ultimately :::
::: indistinguishable ù utterances. :::
::: :::
::: The band still seems to be working out some essential :::
::: questions on Sacraments of Pestilence: the extent to which :::
::: they want to settle for evoking and patching together past :::
::: sounds, the precise degree of crusty grandeur they wish to :::
::: distribute across a heroically scaled horizon. This reviewer :::
::: likes it when Carrion Bloom keeps things simple. The opening :::
::: ninety seconds of ôInto the Lungs of Lambsö have malice and :::
::: musicality running through them in nearly equal measure. :::
::: ItÆs exciting stuff, hinting at the really good full LP that :::
::: may emerge at some point down the crusted, pitch-black path. :::
