New Band To Burn One To: DKH (DOE KILL HOOVES)

HEAVY PLANET presents... DKH (DOE KILL HOOVES)! 

BAND BIO:

DKH (Doe Kill Hooves) are a five piece sludge/hardcore band from Brighton.

DKH have shared the stage with Torche, Monotonix, Art of Burning Water, Drainland, Hawkeyes, Dead Existence, Astrohenge, The Painted Smiles, Dysrhythmia, Magrudergrind, Dopefight, Astrohenge and lots more.

"Frantic live performances in the past have resulted in punches, head buts, broken noses, anal bleeding and even death. Only come and see this if you have balls...that you aren't too attached to!" - Greg (Stay Sick)

THOUGHTS:
"Have you ever had one of those days that you just say "fuck it, fuck everything"? Well, today wasn't actually one of those days, but I did have enough pent up angst inside me to throw on something a little out of my realm. That is where some primo sludgecore from the UK comes in, the band I am talking about people  is DOE KILL HOOVES or simply known as DKH. The merciless onslaught begins immediately with "Crows" and sucker punches you right in the jaw. As the blood trickles down your cheeks from the aural assault on your ears, the band intensifies their fury with the track "Sea of Trees". Amidst frantic drumming, impassioned vocals, and hell-bent attitude, the band bludgeons on with tracks such as "Flight To the Sun" which actually at times sounds like a seal getting (fill in the blank) and the doom-fused riffing of the mighty album closer "Sludgehammer". Fans of Cave-In, Converge, High on Fire and Superjoint Ritual take heed and rejoice there is a new kid in town and it's name is DOE KILL HOOVES." Boom!"

Zac's "Triple Dose": Cathedraal / Rings of Rhea / Schematics for Gravity

This week my little realm of the 'Planet has been bountiful and over-flowing with music. This, in turn, has allowed me to decide to not only give readers two bands to enjoy, but three. Yes, a Triple Dose. This trio of transcendence is in thanks to a three-way split including experimental bands from France, Sweden and Ukraine. So, without further ado... 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cathedraal 

Our first stop on this triple delight lands us in Paris, France with Cathedraal, an experimental group of musicians who thought it good to mix black metal, hardcore and post-metal psychedelia. The outcome is an atmospheric rich sound with brief bursts of beauty and an intimidating amount of noise. Want you senses overwhelmed? Give Cathedraal's Qui Pense Encore a Toi a spin. This track has an excellent guitar driven intro and tremolo pickin', setting it as gold in my book. Interestied? Its available for a steal at bandcamp.

Rings of Rhea 

Rings of Rhea are our second serving of this week's three course dose! These Ukrainian natives have discovered a paradise of dysrhythmia-inducing metal. Using ample noise and choosing to bury the scathed vocals in production, the quintet have created a fine piece of progressive doom metal which I am pleased to share with you all. The elegant addition of a piano interlude combines the two separate tracks seamlessly and creates the illusion of a single track. Their lot of fifteen minutes offers a density experienced in orchestral epics and legends of old. In conclusion, Rings of Rhea bring a blissful terror that simply escapes this listener too quickly. This is a band you will want to watch for future releases. Check out both tracks Destruction and Creation below or download for free at bandcamp.

Schematics for Gravity 

It wouldn't be a trip around Heavy Planet without dropping by, what many may consider the capital metal country, Sweden. Our last course, entitled Schematics for Gravity, is a hardcore turned post-metal five-piece sighting influences such as Cloudkicker, Cult of Luna and Sigur Rós. Focusing heavily on creating a celestial experience, Schematics for Gravity emit an Alcest-vibe. The music is more alluring, and even delicate at times, rather than terrorizing. The vocals are intense and proclaimed with a dying passion, although, similar with Cathedraal above, are enshrouded in the mix adding to the overall atmosphere of the two tracks. I enjoyed the track Behind Closed Doors most. Check it out below and in the words of the Swedes, "Inhale. Enjoy. Explode."
