MID-WEEK METAL SLUDGE: Romulus and Remus by High on Fire - The next couple of weeks I am going to focus on all the new and awesome 2012 albums that I neglected to post. The latest album by High on Fire is one release that totally escaped my attention back in April, and that is a shame because this is one of the few bands that has been doing sludge metal right for over a decade.
De Vermis Mysteriis (translation: The Mysteries of the Worm) is sonically dynamic and cathcy while it drags you through the lowest sludge pits of doom and gloom. While the “concept” of the album of a twin brother of Jesus Christ that is a time-traveler is a bit lost on me, the songs are definitely not lost. Each track is pretty killer, but the Latin.Roman history geek in me has to throw up any song titled Romulus and Remus.
