Wolf Eyes / Blank Hellscape – Winter Sunday / Concrete Walls 12"*

What happens when Detroit's WOLF EYES and Austin's BLANK HELLSCAPE team up to provide a suitably nightmarish backdrop for USA 2020 vanquished by fear, greed, incurable disease, etc.? Fuck if I know, it's not like they recorded their tracks in the same room while watching cable news. I mean, credit both ensembles for having an imaginative bone in their bodies or two. On the left, we have Michigan's synapse-snapping heavyweight champs. On the right, 3 fellas whose 2019 Diseased Tapes debut was one of the year's most harrowing listening experiences. This EP required no fewer than 3 mastering engineers, 2 personal trainers and 1 and a half psychologists (there was a credentials question) to complete.
