Accolades for Erode the Person
After a few years of ambiguity, the almighty west coast doomsters Noothgrush have officially called it a day after over a decade of tectonic sludge destruction. To commemorate the career of one of the most influential American acts in the game, Throne records has decided to release a confusing compilation entitled Erode the Person. Do not think, however, that this is a reissue of the compilation of the same name that was released in the late 90�s, because this �version� is slightly different and contains a few tracks not appearing on the original release. Collected here are tracks from the splits with Wellington, Corrupted, Gasp, and Carol Ann, along with a whole slew of unreleased tracks and new versions of tracks that appeared on the original Erode the Person and Failing Early, Failing Often compilations.
All the confusion is totally irrelevant however, because as soon as you hit play and remember all over again how incredibly devastatingly heavy this trio was, you can�t really think of else. There are so many crushing riffs here that it�s pretty impossible to even convey in words what making it through this album is like (those familiar with Noothgrush�s music know what I mean), but this is a must have for any fans interested in doom if you own nothing else from these guys.
