Fucked Up – “Oberon” LP
Yet another addition to the ever-expanding canon of work by Canada’s primary hardcore export of the 21st century. For this four track, medium-length EP – named after the king of fairies – they keep the Fucked Up legacy moving forward once again, even when it involves a step back in time – on this occasion to the down-tuned sludge doom of Cathedral, Sleep, Melvins, Noothgrush, Earth, and Bloodlet. Re-channelling the hardcore that birthed them, with added heaviness – sludgy riffs “exploding in octaves lower than Hades”, and slow, hellish beats, topped by Damian Abraham at his most theatrically-evil best.
