OVO - Creatura (Sealed) (LP)

A darker slant than their previous full length, OvO's guitars scrape and drums pound but the organic crunch and high fidelity of this release will convince you that this is music taken further and harder. An avant masterpiece, it takes cues from the tar covered hordes wearing jean jackets and introduces a very natural middle finger of wigginess. Stefania Pendretti's vocals soar for the sky and rest like a golden piece of corn in the steaming morass of dunt. Guitar undulates like a wriggling eel, with Bruno Dorella's drums providing crunching headburn.
