Melmak – Cosmic Pain

Self released – 2012

Metal, Sludge, Doom, Death, Core

Rated: **

I dug Alf. There was nothing wrong with that silly little rascal. I can still hear the theme song in my head. So when the Spanish freaks that named their band after Alf’s home planet contacted me, my interested was peeked. Lo-Fi production gives Cosmic Pain as the record is called a grey and grimy feel. It turns it into something obscure, dangerous and otherworldly. The duo merges all the bleakness of death metal, hardcore, sludge and doom to an invocation of something evil. A massive universe of noise and pummeling explodes and haunting growls and screams make your bones ache and blood freeze. There’s definitely something wicked brooding on Melmak…
