OLD MAN GLOOM SHARE FROM THE APE OF GOD (PROFOUND LORE)
Most people are now aware of the Old Man Gloom revelation that their upcoming release The Ape Of God is actually two identically titled but musically different albums, and it turns out they tricked me too. To clear up any confusion, the promo version sent out contains tracks from both albums. The tracks selected from each album were edited and mixed up in a specific order for the promo, with four tracks from the actual final version of the albums not included on the promo version.
Old Man Gloom, the self-confessed experimental hardcore ‘supergroup who don’t suck’, are back with their sixth full-length, The Ape of God, their first record since the esteemed 2012 release, No, the voraciously experimental quartet have since cracked on with their quest to dismantle, disrobe and derail heavy progressive music as we know it, and by their own standards, they’re doing a great job. The tracks on The Ape of God are laden thick with amorphous tone, seething noise and Mobius Strip riffs, deftly balancing colossal heaviness with ambient pedigree.
