Recommendation: Kowloon Walled City

[Krilons Resa]

I have no idea who from RC would enjoy this but they have been completely kicking my ass lately. I am addicted to this band. Not even sure I would classify them as Metal but they definitely crossover into Metal territory and have that oppressive aesthetic. They are noise-rock mixed with sludge metal if I had to describe their sound. Their 2012 album, Container Ships, which was just released is battling for my AOTY. It's not as immediate as it's predecessor but will slowly sink it's claws into you with it's subtlety and tone exploration. Check it out:

Gambling On The Richter Scale (2009)

Container Ships (2012)

[Krilons Resa]
