Clouds Taste Satanic – “The Glitter of Infinite Hell”
Get in your favorite chair and get ready for this week’s RECORD OF THE WEEK blog!
CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC formed in Brooklyn, New York in 2013. They’ve developed a unique sound that melds riff dominated stoner rock with heavy doom. With their live shows, they work to create a multi-media display (lights, visuals and of course smoke) that offers a true experience and companion piece to their albums. Titled “The Glitter of Infinite Hell”, this is the band’s fourth album and is set to be released on Halloween. It features 4 songs on 4 sides of vinyl clocking in at just under 75 minutes and harkens back to the band’s debut, “To Sleep Beyond the Earth”, which presented 1 song in 4 parts over 2 sides of vinyl. Check them out in NY this November!

“The Mortal Coil” sees POLARIS stretching both ends of their sound further than ever before – it contains some of their heaviest ever moments and riffs, and a lot of deceptively technical parts, but also goes really deeply into the more melodic post-hard core aspect of the band. “The Mortal Coil” is their debut album after releasing two EPs previously, and will be the first release to be distributed by labels both in Australia and worldwide, with RESIST RECORDS and SHARPTONE RECORDS handling each respectively. They start touring basically non stop in Australia starting right now!
