Sithter is, in a phrase, a sort of
Japanese take on Eyehategod, which means that Sithter is, in another
phrase, fucking awesome. This is the sort of band who understand the
sludgy magic of there forefathers and the obsession with horror and
layer all of these things together, with samples, crushing guitar
tones and fucked up chord structures in order to showcase a sonic
landscape that is exciting, dynamic, and neverending. It means that
Chaotic Fiend is an album
that you simply can't stop listening to, for spin after spin.
There
is a sense of disgust, malfeasance and utter decay represented in the
music of Chaotic Fiend.
It gives us a gateway into a band who understand the bitter pill of
21st
century life. As we are repeatedly forced to choke down devilish
riffs and get lost in gargantuan stomps, Sithter swaggers forward,
showing us a band who are here to fuck shit up and choke you out. The
fucked up screams and tortured growls that define Chaotic
Fiend are strangely exciting and
will leave you in awe, burrowing through layers of audio decay to
find a hint of a braver, far greater future than any of us might have
otherwise imagined.
Despite
the sheer fucking nihilism (And beautiful nihilism at that) of
Sithter's music it's hard not to see the future of a genre in their
moans, groans and blasts of punk rock fury. Out of the darkness comes
a group who are here to tear your throat out. Sure this band is
fucked up, and sure it will alienate a bunch of people, but for those
of us who have fallen in love and get off on this sort of thing there
is no better glimpse into the future than what this band has put
together and shown us is possible time and time again.
