Surfing high, fellas, nuclear suntanning full service! The Ancient Ones are bound to return, as advertised -- only this time, the moss-ridden temple of Their Majesties emerging from the abyss's depth is a bizarre theme park populated with Humanoid Lizards and B-movie clipboard UFOs. Bad Trips, Shroom Jokes, Black Tides Wonderland, where aliens indulge themselves with cosplay reenactment of Cthulhu fighting other goofy Kraken-shaped Godheads. Yet beneath all such absurdities, something you're too afraid to call "grandeur" still lurks. Courage, Black Metal Enjoyers! A tiny dose of Tarantino acid won't hurt (too much) -- thus spoke KÓLGA, Bummer of the Deep!
Black Metal meets Surf Rock, bah, it should've just remained as a meme. Yet, someone -- namely, the Texan Nautical Horror Collective KÓLGA -- out of some inexplicable intentions (or just sickening humor) actually takes this genre seriously and makes a record out of it, and it absolutely kills. Even though it's not Black Metal, the sonic surreality of Black Tides is something many BM fans of late would appreciate: the heavy psychedelic synth, the catchy surf rock tremolo picking, plus the at times poignant and bleak doomy passages (and Blastbeats!) where the whole greenish submarine crew slow down their trippy descent and forget their destination is not Transylvania.
Pest Productions is pleased to announce the official Tape version of Black Tides, a must-check gem if you're into Psychedelic Black Metal (or just unconventional rock). Stay tuned!
