New Heavy Sounds gives you the self titled debut album from London Doom/Sludge monsters
Limb. Limb have been a band to catch by those in the know on the Doom/Sludge scene since their
formation in 2011. The underground metal label 'Witch Hunter Records' was hooked enough to
release the band's early demos, as well as a recent split EP with fellow sludge merchants Gurt, on
which Limb cover and truly demolish Queen's 'Son and Daughter'. They are also a crushing live
outfit, that have shared stages around the country with bands like Conan, Witchsorrow and labelmates
Black Moth and Throne. Championed by Metal Hammer, Terrorizer and the rest, 'Gift Of The
Sun', Limb's first release for NHS, even made onto BBC radio and that perhaps highlights Limb's
singular vision. Their sound is shot through with an alternative twist on the Doom/Sludge theme.
The record's dynamics and approach are akin to Slint in many ways, though post rock it most
certainly isn't. It's deliberately stripped-down. Stark, bleak and visceral. As dark and menacing as
Joy Division 'de-tuned', though post-punk it most certainly isn't. There are moments of sleazy
psychedelics, blasts of cosmic rock and brushes with hardcore. This is one heavy record. For this
release we have some very special cover art, created by the super talented (and super hot) Richey
Beckett, fresh from his work with Metallica and Mastodon. It's pretty special: intricately detailed
and darkly beautiful. The super deluxe vinyl edition will come in a gatefold sleeve, with a
heavyweight 180g, green and black vinyl record, plus an insert of the cover art and a free
download of the whole album. Vinyl is limited to just 300 copies; also available on CD and Download.
