Into Dust

Darknight Listening to 'Into Dust' is like being dragged helplessy through humanity's mind, you experience all the wreckage and all the carnage within twelve tracks of fantastic sludge metal. I held back from purchasing this album and now I relieved to have done inevitable, I could not wait any longer, it's so freaking good! Favorite track: Null and Eternal Void.

progdolphin Here we are 30 years after their debut, and 16 feels as punishing as ever. Though geographical isolation has allowed this act to meld 90s alt rock into their sound in a different way than the crooked NOLA bend of legacy sludge acts, Into Dust bears the same base boggy chug and rumble. Whether you need a tough guy stomp, punk-fueled mosh, or a classic bar room brawl, 16 has put together a fine collection of tunes for you. Favorite track: The Floor Wins.

about

-(16)- return with their heaviest and most devastating record to date, Into Dust. The new album, a collection of cautionary tales of survival and redemption, is set to an amalgamation of sludge, punk, metal, hardcore, and stoner riffs, that could only be built through 30 years of commitment to their dark sonic craft, which -(16)- continues to improve upon.

From the frantic opening of "Misfortune Teller" to the undeniable pounding and swagger of "Scrape the Rocks", Into Dust lives up to its name, as -(16)- beat the listener into submission through the lowest of ends and the sour, palpable malaise prevalent throughout the album's dozen tracks.

"There's a story arc in the lyrics that start with an eviction notice served amid the ruins of Hurricane Irma in the Florida Keys, to running aground metaphorically and drowning in midlife, bearing witness to the modern suffering of hunger and poverty on the Mexico California border," guitarist and vocalist Bobby Ferry says. The negativity persists on tracks aptly titled "Null and Eternal Void", and the dizzying, pill-induced "The Floor Wins". Elsewhere, "Born on a Bar Stool" sends the listener off with a sobering album closer; ending on a foggy and rainy jazz-tinged San Francisco night, with an anti-drinking drinking song, proclaiming "Raise your glass all things pass".
