In lieu of the ever-growing and horrifying death toll that mother earth has massacred upon the pacific island we know as Japan, I'm going to remind y'all that Doom is no stranger to this land. It has always been an insatiable hub for bands of the extreme and the occult. The infamous Corrupted is one of 'em. These Japanese hellions are known to many as one of the pioneers of the Funeral Doom genre--blending elements of Death Metal, Doom, Sludge, and Dark Ambient. It is the essence of sorrow and despair. Its unmeasurable mass and ambiance created by layers and layers of feedback and distortion somehow leave you with an unbearable sense of emptiness. The rising and falling of the pulverizing snail-paced down-tuned riffs crash upon your entire being with the force of a 50-foot tsunami wave. The vocalists' deep mournful guttural growls float atop the sea of sludge beckoning the obliteration of your soul. Paso Inferior is the first of their four full-lengths, which were few and far between their hoards of EPs and splits. This is a long-time favorite of mine and a must-have for any zealot of the Sludge and the Doom. It's single 42-minute track deserves your explicit attention. This is not background music, so don't treat it as such. Immerse yourself in it without distraction and as always, hail Satan! \m/
