“Nowhere Existence” (2007) by Doldrums – 7” 33RPM EP.

Four tracks of sludge/grindcore. Or if you want the blunt version: black metal, but punkier. The guitars and bass lock in tight, the blast beats are razor-precise, and the vocals are shrill screams instead of the usual cavern-growls. It’s chaos, but controlled chaos.

What I always find funny is how “extreme” music like this actually goes down easier than so-called “easy listening.” Elevator jazz makes me want to leap out the window—this? I could spin it all afternoon.

Solid EP, and one of the few relics from this Denver outfit. A short, sharp shot of noise that still holds up.
