Seven sisters of sleep-Opium morals (2013)

About their self titled record released ast year, also on A389 recordings, I said that they were clearly one of the best recent sludge bands (See my review HERE). I'm happy to say that Opium morals confirms all the good things I said about Seven sisters of sleep.every song in it is excellent and Opium morals is one of my favourite record for 2013 yet. the songs are maybe a bit slower than on the previous record but they still are more hardcore than many sludge bands. maybe the riffs, that are excellent, plays a more important part in the songs. but the rythmic side is also very strong with good bass parts that really adds heaviness to the songs, and a drumming that is especially good, more technical and diverse than usually in sludge / hardcore. the vocal lines are also good, adding more dynamism to the songs. the prodution is very good. In fact I don't see any weakness in this impressive record.
Don't sleep on this, Opium morals really is a dope album!

Seven sisters of sleep

Seven sisters of sleep comes form Orange County, California and have been taking the sludge scene by storm in the last couple of years. They released a first self titled album with Southern lord in 2010, a split  with Children of god last year on A389 recordings, and now a self titled 7' also on A389. Three really inspired and crushing records. The recipe is classical sludge but with some more brutality added (even death metal elements like blastbeat parts here and there). Every song is well crafted with cool riffs and rythmic parts bringing a lot of groove with the heaviness and brutality.

Clearly one of the best recent sludge bands!
