If 2021 is already starting to weigh on you the same way last year’s god-awful year did, might we suggest a sludgy four-minute escape courtesy of emerging noisemakers Dead Friends?
Providing a gloomy, ooze-soaked vibe à la Mastodon, Every Time I Die and Neurosis, Dead Friends is teaming up with The Noise to debut their bruising lead single “Taos Hum.”
Opening up about the conceptual new track taken from their forthcoming fan-funded album Ultrabysmal, vocalist/guitarist Austin Radford says, “If Ultrabysmal as a whole is a story of immense struggle and loss, ‘Taos Hum’ is the narrator introducing us to our main character and saying ‘See this complacent, arrogant prick? Let’s see what happens if we destroy his entire identity and introduce him to a brand new level of hell.’”
