October 2025 - Feature Release - The Fallen Edition

I have made some great discoveries this past year in The Fallen clan and not all of them have been from 2025.  For this month's feature release I have gone back to 2020 and to the single full length release from Australian sludge/doom crew, KVLL.  Death​/​/​Sacrifice is a big old slap in the face for those who venture into its five tracks.  Do not be fooled by that atmo-black looking album cover, this thing crushes.

As usual, feel free to comment in this thread and leave a review even.

Wow! I've never even heard of these guys.

Here is a transscript of an actual conversation I was a party to between two of my internal organs:

Brain: Wow, Heart, I bet you're loving this album aren't you?

Heart: I don't know. Not really. It hasn't made me skip a beat or anything.

Brain: Yeah, but these super-distorted, oozing sludgy riffs are just the sort of shit we adore though aren't they?

Heart: I know, I know, but, well, something really isn't connecting here and it just makes me feel kind of empty.

Brain: Oh, come on. You're just being difficult now.

Heart: I'm really not. It just sounds like someone took Dopethrone, ran it through a distortion pedal and added a load of Sonic Youth noise to it.

Brain: Exactly! Great innit?

Heart: No, its just making feel a bit worn out and tired.

Brain: Oh fuck off then!!

I am a bit conflicted by this to say the least. I know I should love it, but it isn't reaching me for some reason. I suspect that the fault is mine and not theirs. I think it best I return to this at a later date.
