Left in a Ditch nz really is a bunch of angry sheep fuckers Favorite track: Scraping Shit (From Beneath My Nails).

tr_πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ This is what "outside" looks like now. It's even worse than the most pessimistic predictions:
No social distancing!

Filthy extreme post-decomposition, pre-thrown-in-the-trash sludge. Takes a while to get used to the less than enthusiastic vocal delivery (still on month 1 myself). Featured track "Blood and flies" is frankly dreadful; the 2nd one is where the fun is. Favorite track: Abandoned In A Pit.

Shark Tale If ever somebody asks me what music I listen to when I want to relax, I'm automatically gonna think of this album (I mean this in a good way). Also this is one of my favorite cover arts.

Following on from their Dry Cough released 'Servants Of Slow' compilation cassette in 2013, this LP consists of three more tracks of torturously slow, horribly heavy, doom-infused sludge from the New Zealand 3-piece. If you could slow down the records of compatriot's Meth Drinker to 15rpm then you wouldn't be a million miles away from Open Tomb's ugly sound.
As with all their previous recordings (including their recent brilliant cover of The Birthday Party track 'Deep In The Woods'), this makes for very uncomfortable listening indeed. One could easily imagine it being used as an instrument of torture in some far flung covert prison.
Open Tomb are a gruesome, hideous beast of a band who seem determined to - at best - make you as miserable as they sound, and at worst, push you over the edge with their suffocatingly bleak take on metal.
