With a name as curious as it is amusing, and a supersonic, blisteringly intense sound, we find ourselves with the editorial team’s latest hidden gem: the new album — as creeping as it is venomous — from the American band Chat Pile (noise-rock / sludge / indus / metal from Oklahoma) ‘God’s Country’, released a few days ago via The Flenser, a rather discerning label already home to boundary-pushing acts like Bosse-de-Nage, Drowse, Kayo Dot ou RLYR.
A fiercely uninhibited record that flies in the face of bands who tend to take themselves a bit too seriously, drawing on the legacy of heavyweights like Big Black, EYEHATEGOD, Floor, Godflesh, Helmet, and The Jesus Lizard. The result? A raw, gripping listen — available in full streaming just below.
