SARKH - Heretical Bastard

heavy black high quality vinyl (180 gr.) - printed insert - lim. 500

Nature in it's motion 

„Heretical Bastard” is the second album of the german instrumental rock trio. Sarkh show influences from bands like early Motorpsycho, Mogwai or Neurosis, as well as early grunge, and also having aspects of bands like My Sleeping Karma, Russian Circles, just to name a few... Both in their sound and in the way they play their instruments. The result is something very unique, style-breaking, which in itself seems like a force of nature:
“Sarkh blasts, Sarkh sings with no vocals, Sarkh is an acoustic museum mile of energetic guitar rock.
The bass pumps like the main artery of a heavyweight and tells a story with its flowing play of brute riffs and fine, melodic runs that sticks in your head.
A drum kit grooves in the style of seventy rock, only to demonstrate breathtaking precision with a post-metal impulse breakthrough in the next moment, without appearing cold and lifeless.
And then the multi-layered guitar work: there's the post-metal again with its rough power and the post-rock with its reverb and wide melodies, albeit just as dirty and raw.
The trio delivers an album that will undoubtedly be heard. Shit, I got goosebumps the first time I heard it..."
