EEL BLOOD - 'Scalping Gods For Their Neglect' (V42)

Following on from the belligerent and caustic brevity of her 2023 release ‘your innocence as forfeit’, EEL BLOOD has dramatically expanded her scope on ‘Scalping Gods For Their Neglect’, an album that is nothing less than an unconditionally vehement and visceral reaction to a burning and corrupt world in ruins.

Textures and arrangements warp and contort into ferocious, depraved shapes as it chews and churns through its foreboding and corporeal elements, lurching and palpitating. Thunderous, roiling sub-bass tirades batter against twitchy, sinewy, blown-out sheets of noise and heaving, disgorging rhythmic patterns, altogether producing a pummelling, convulsive morass that is both oily and numbing as well as mercilessly turbulent and sublime.

EEL BLOOD has constructed a truly fearsome and scathing release with ‘Scalping Gods for Their Neglect’. An indictment of the contemptible actions of those that crave wealth and power over others, it truly distills the psychological and existential impact of living in a world where agency is stripped, voices are silenced and unimaginable horrors are conducted daily without appeal or consent.
