Album Review: River Black - River Black

River Black River Black (Season of Mist)

Raw, pummeling, and aggressive; River Black is a righteous blend of hardcore, thrash, and death metal that mixes into just the right cocktail of sonic intoxication. Thick grooves conjure wave after wave of unholy face melting hell.

River Black is a wailing monstrosity of unforgiven blues summoned forth from elite veterans in the metal scene. After the fall out of Burnt By The Sun, drummer David Witte (Municipal Waste) and guitar player John Adubato carved out the path toward their reawakening. Insert the technical prowess of Revocation’s Brett Bamberger and former Burnt By The Sun vocalist Mike Olender, and you have the aftermath of this New Jersey unit’s extreme revival.

Out forth pours River Black, thirty-five minutes of pure organic American metal chopped up into 12 tracks. Bandcamp
