Sleeve and title of the week for me go to Robedoor with their excellent 'Rancor Keeper' CD on Release The Bats. A dense fog of rumbling thunderous bottom end that sounds like the very fires of hell. Pure evil eminates from the layers of effects. Like Skullflower, Lustmord and Demons all hanging out at Satan's grotto. The sounds build into huge intense walls. Very powerfull stuff indeed. It's amazing how they create these soundscapes using keyboard, cello, drum, guitar, voice and cymbal. This is absolutley crushing stuff. Blimey I'm spoiled with quality gear this week.SUNNY CALIFORNIA... YEAH, RIGHT. AFTER SEVERAL LIMITED CDR, VINYL AND TAPE RELEASES (WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 30 RELEASES SINCE 2005, PLUS VARIOUS COMPILATION CONTRIBUTIONS!), THE LOS ANGELES DUO FINALLY UNLEASHES THEIR MOST DEFINITE MAJOR OPUS TO THE MASSES. RANCOR KEEPER IS A BLEAK AND UNCOMPROMISING TRIP INTO THE NIGHTMARISH DRONE-RITUALS OF ROBEDOOR. A SINISTER HAZE OF BLEEDING WALLS, HUMANS HANGING FROM TREES AND ROTTEN CORPSES RETURNING FROM THE OTHER SIDE. RECORDED SPRING 2007 AT BORED FORTRESS STUDIOS, RANCOR KEEPER CONSISTS OF 4 SONGS WITH A TOTAL PLAYTIME OF ABOUT 40 MINUTES. COMPARSIONS HAS IN THE PAST BEEN MADE TO BANDS LIKE THE SKATERS AND SKULLFLOWER, BUT WITH THEIR UNIQUE OCCULT ATMOSPHERE, ROBEDOOR WILL ALWAYS STAND ON THEIR OWN. NO MOSH, NO CORE, NO FUN. ALEX: SLIME, KNIVES, DISTORTION BRITT: FIRE, HOWLS, CLOCKS. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES. SPECIAL DUAL PLOVER STYLED GATEFOLD SLEEVES WITH BLACK FELT.
