Emit - The Dark Bleeding Gods [GoatowaRex - 2009]

‘The Dark Bleeding Gods’ is the second collection of  rare  & out of  print tracks from  the now defunct avant grade, darkly nasty and deranged Uk Black metal project Emit which morphed into the safer sounding,Mediaeval soaked, discordant guitar and organ high project Hammemit.

Lets me start out by saying I was huge fan of the first of Emit’s  odd and sods collections  ‘Abortions’ which came out in 2008 on Autumn Wind Productions. There were so many different kinds of crude blacked madness going on with-in the disc which dodged from: sinister, drunk and plodding church organ dirges. Onto unhinged and morbid gamelan work-outs jerked with industrial grimness, through to frosty, grim  and barely moving pitch black guitar wonderings that creek and groan with weird vocalising. ‘The Dark Bleeding Gods’ focuses in more on the projects  guitar based composition with the tracks go from: grim, drum-less and bass-less slightly discordant blacked freak-outs with barked and growl vocals on top. Onto shambling fall down the stairs drum attacks laced with doom, black metal and  discordant blues runs and sudden effect heavy blacked vocal belchers. Through to heady, muffled and dammed blacked guitar hazes and discordant grim psychedelic freak-outs buzzing with phased vocal textures. Down to the odd runs of Clear sounding dark, discordant  guitar frostiness.


On the whole it’s certainly a deeply blacked and at times discordance heavy and unhinged collection of tracks. And while it’s not quite up there with ‘Abortions’ as it’s just not quite as varied, unhinged or plan freaky; there’s a lot to enjoy and get blackly high and freaked-out on here. So if you dig your avant grade blacked metal- free-form, lurching and quite damned, yet wonkly cinematic  ‘The Dark Bleeding Gods’ will really hit your buttons.
