Helgamite Post The Abyssal Layer Album; Physical Pressing Due Next Month
Posted in Whathaveyou on November 4th, 2020 by JJ Koczan
It hasn’t been that long since Helgamite released their third long-player, The Abyssal Layer, digitally through their Bandcamp — just a couple days — but I didn’t want to let anymore time slip before writing about it because, well, at this point I’m not really fooling myself into thinking that, if you’re here, you’re here to read this part of the post. I’ll go nine for 10 you’ve already skipped to the bottom where the player is.
And hey, that’s cool. I’m here for the music too. And the fact that it’s here means it’s already been through the aggregator process — that is, it’s here and a bunch of other stuff isn’t today — so maybe this whole thing is superfluous. Maybe I should start a YouTube channel or a podcast or something, sleep until a normal time in the morning. By which I mean like six. I’ll mull that over while waiting for the world to end.
But whether you’re still reading or not, the point is that the extreme sludge Helgamite proffer on The Abyssal Layer is well worth your time in atmosphere and bludgeon alike. They’ll reportedly have physical copies — CD? LP? tape? all of the above? — out next month, but until then you can consume it and be consumed by it in the digital ether. Think of it as a formless terror stalking your brainstem via the ear canal.
Have fun:
