Southern Lord
Release: 10 June 2016
Seattle's dissonant extreme metal disease carriers Hissing have a new two-song release that is coming up. Right now, the new music is not at their Bandcamp page, but they have other music that you can hear so that you have an idea what you are signing up for with this band. Hissing is a relatively new band, but the sickness-depression that they carry is as old as the western Washington weather: they can go as slow as a snail, then speed up to extreme metal velocity, all the while sounding like a band obsessed with making the listener a bit (or a lot) uncomfortable with left-field sounds: extreme metal + doom + dissonance = a vociferation disturbance upon the ears of the audience. C'mon, let's go, it will be a sexy time!
OFFICIAL INFORMATION: Southern Lord presents the self-titled 7” EP from traumatizing Seattle-based death metal trio, HISSING. HISSING began in 2014 out of a mutual interest between bassist/vocalist Zach Wise, guitarist Joe O'Malley, and drummer Sam Pickelin exploring dissonant and punishing metal. Having forged a more explosive identity since then, the outfit dispatches a gruesome concoction of death metal with pungent blackened atmosphere and scathing sludge-dredging attributes, outputting gnarled death in the vein of Incantation, Autopsy, and Winter, with attributes inspired by the likes of Portal, Blut Aus Nord, Swans, Coffins, and others permeating from deep within. Following a self-released a demo and a self-titled EP, which was recently reissued on CD by Disorder Recordings, the new self-titled 7” from HISSING bears the hymns, “Cairn” on the A-side and “Husk” on the B-side. Hissing was tracked by Rusty Graeff (Bone Sickness) and mixed and produced by the band, with mastering handled by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and its cover art by Stefan Thanneur (Chaos Echœs), the lyrics of the new EP thematically centered around the effects of the metropolitan environment on the human psyche and explore themes of agoraphobia, urban decay, and incarceration.
