Black Math Horseman - ‘Wyllt’

Their moniker conjures up images of an odd mix of moustachioed dudes in corpsepaint belting out the latest in advanced polyrhythmic grindcore.

Rating: 8

Their moniker conjures up images of an odd mix of moustachioed dudes in corpsepaint belting out the latest in advanced polyrhythmic grindcore. In reality, Los Angeles’ Black Math Horseman are a much more psychedelic and doomy proposition accented by a dark twang ‘n’ shimmer. When they click the distortion pedals on, it’s like Isis being chased through a foggy veil by a bloodthirsty succubus. ‘Tyrant’ balances spacious textures with palm muted crushing and pounding drums while ‘A Barren Cause’ builds and builds like a glorious exorcism before a climax that’s like Clutch being joined by Dave Wyndorf and Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich for a brown acid jammola. Excellent stuff.
