The Heavy - Great Vengeance & Furious Fire

The Heavy make the kind of dirty, guitar-scorched hip hop soul that leads you into temptation. And then you’re going to burn. The Heavy specialise in making everything wrong sound right. From the moment you hear first single ‘That Kind of Man’ you know only exorcism can save you. Combining the gritty bottom end of classic Wu Tang with wall-of-sound guitar wailing and raw blues-soul, it’s instantly recognisable and utterly addictive, Swaby’s sweet-yet-threatening vocal raising it to another level.    The album finishes with ‘Who Needs The Sunshine’, which carries echoes of the Bristol scene of Massive Attack and Tricky, but reconstituted as an epic country blues. Initial orders of the CD version will be packaged in a special gatefold sleeve (to revert to standard jewel case once this pressing is sold out).
