Thunderchief – No Sufferance For Thy Fools
Self-released – March 2020
Sludge, Doom
Rated: *****
The great State of Virginia continues to threaten for dominance in the US Underground with bands such as The Astral Void, Inter Arma and Windhand currently hitting the heights. RVA's own Thunderchief, however, lay waste to them all with this crushing new release No Sufferance For Thy Fools, a spine-snapping cesspit of antipathy and bile. Opener "3579" sets the table with a sumptuous, blackened scourge of vilified vocals and plunging riffs. "Lone Wolf McQuaalude" then ignites into a full-on thrasher of brutal, Death-infused sludge which is brutal and unforgiving. The stupor-inducing Doom riffage of "Saipan Death March" reeks of black-eyed malice and drags you off into it's dark lair. More decrepit doom follows in it's wake with "Oracion de Muerte": squealing feedback shrieks and dripping entrails of dark chord progressions lure you to the call. Another bruiser ,"Love Roses and a Pyrex Dish" turns up the gas once again, venomous, deadly riffage brawls with a percussive assault and hate-filled utterances. Closer, "(Dream of the) Hornworm" slows the pace again into an elastic Doom bassline smothered with a chlorine cloth of vicious, foetid tones. Thunderchief have delivered a crushing, brutal and essential exercise in Modern Dark Metal, and suffer fools they do not....
