State Violence is Remote Viewing's angriest, most direct and loudest record to date, recorded by long-time collaborator Wayne Adams (Petbrick, Big Lad). Listen to the album exclusively here before its release Friday.
[Excerpts from our review of State Violence written by Rob Brown, which you can read in full here.]
“The new album kicks in like any should, a meagre, clean, dirgy entry into a slamming, alarming slab of sludge that is some of the best we’ve seen for a long time on these cold, frigid shores…And it doesn’t stop there; what follows is 40 minutes of challenging but ultimately cathartic sludge metal, designed and laid out from the members of various well known bands across this great isle. It shouldn’t be ignored; honestly, we don’t think it can be ignored in its forthright indignation, in its molasses of a sound. It drags you in and holds you there whilst it pummels your face into understanding and believing what it’s putting forth.”
“From the expansive opening chords of ‘Straight to VHS’ to the dirty riffing of ‘Disrespect the Arts’, this album has one purpose and one purpose only to unveil, or at least bring to the forefront, the suffering we feel on a day to day basis, the injustice and indignity with which we are treated as a mass, the unclean mass perhaps, but the mass that goes to shows and feels the energy of such a crushing bravado as is wielded by Remote Viewing.”
