(Andy Synn dedicates his first post-NWTF review to the Post/Sludge/Doom stylings of We Follow the Earth)
Right now, in case you didn’t know. we’re in what’s called the “post Northwest Terror Fest slump”… which is where we’re largely reliant on DGR’s forethought in producing a bunch of reviews to cover for the fact that he and I are visiting Seattle and spending more of our time (which includes spending some much-needed face-to-face time with Islander) drinking and hanging out and explicitly not writing for the site.
That being said, I’m going to try and fit in a few reviews – starting with this one – between now and the end of our trip (which also includes a journey to Baltimore to attend Maryland Deathfest), so let’s cut to the chase, shall we, and get into it with the new album from North Carolina Sludge-slingers We Follow the Earth.
