Howdy y’all! Did we mention yet that life and work has been hectic again? I think we did, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and soon we can do more HiVe stuff! But luckily Good Boy and very cool Kyle delivered some words for the damn fine Oopsy Dazey release just yesterday. And of course we did a Quick Fire Friday segment and managed to write about the best grind and crust album we heard in years, delivered by Dutch five-piece Radeloos///Ziedend. Still on heavy rotation! And so are Volumen I by Spanish Doble Sesión Nocturna and the new Band In The Pit. For Goda is one kick ass relentless trip! Go check’m all out! All of ‘m!

Band In The Pit – Goda

 

 

Band In The Pit – Goda
Psychedelic Source Records / Para Hobo Records – 2023
Rock, Doom, Psych, Stoner, Instrumental
Rated: ****

If you are looking for an out of body experience, look no further! On the new album Goda, by Hungarian trio Band In The Pit, the three pound you into submission with their instrumental doom and in the way they stomp on the terra and make the earth tremble and the walls shake around you, your entire being will start to quake and quiver. Your mind will free itself from your body, and you will become a shimmering entity floating overhead and only scarcely able to get a grip on the determined, doom techno like hammering that takes you all the way to the Tao of existence before soaring back down when that jazzy freak out in final track Relight electrifies your soul. Relentless and staggering have always been monikers for whatever Band In The Pit released, but with Goda they really take it up a notch. It becomes ruthless and insistent, and within that frame of oppression, it turns out, is freedom. For you will find yourself and fight for your soul, your return to a whole and in the end will experience some form of bliss as you are finally sucked back into your body. And if all this sounds like it might be arduous, dangerous, scary or that it might deter you from listening, you are wrong. Goda is meant to be on repeat for the entire night…

Work has been hectic and much of the free time went to getting them October edition of the Doom Charts ready. But we still listened to quite some albums and enjoyed the hell out of all ten mentioned above. The sad news past week was of course that after delivering that damn amazing Man In The Arena album, the guys from The Sound Of Origin have decided to go on hiatus. Life sometimes takes a difficult turn. Thanks for the cool tunes guys! We hope you work through it all and come back to us one day.

Self Released - 2013
Stoner Rock, Instrumental         
Rated: ***

 

Let’s kick off 2014 in style the only way HiVer’s know how: with a stoner riff blitzkrieg! Hungary’s Band In The Pit unleashed a daunting mass of heavy instrumental guitar metal in 2013 that required further investigation. (After all, appropriating a guitar head on a picture of a horse as the album cover is a surefire way to draw attention!). Ninety minutes of relentless, down tuned blues riffs are what’s on the docket from these lads. Band In The Pit seem to be trying to strike a balanced medium between the white-hot redneck stomp of Karma to Burn and the more laid back, psychedelic rock musings of Causa Sui and the like. (Toner Low first comes to mind.) The result: an effort that is very consistent front to back with relatively stripped-down arrangements and a production quality that puts guitar front and center. Repetition is a key point of focus for BITP, songs are stretched out across very long stretches, to the point where the movements take on an incredibly thick desert-like atmosphere. Try to imagine if Kyuss ate some peyote and went on a desert pilgrimage with Morricone as their spiritual guide. An hour and a half of this can get rather overwhelming and let’s hope BITP fine tune further offerings into more easily congestible doses. Band In The Pit is recommended for its heavy, smoky, impossibly thick desert atmosphere.
