Planet Loss by Wallowing
Rabid and feral, Wallowing's brand of sci-fi themed blackened sludge/grindcore/noise wastes no time. Utilizing a single, 32 minute piece of music split between six sub-tracks, 'Planet Loss' covers such issues as the current political climate, the effects it has on the planet and its inhabitants('Earthless'); racism, homophobia and discrimination as a whole ('Phosgene'); being born into a failing system ('Hail Creation') and mental illness as well as the stigma around such issues ('Vessel').
Wallowing provide a self-aware perspective, all carefully crafted within an epic story of a small rebellion fighting its last battle against a ruling oppressive regime only to result in the end of civilization due to both parties own ignorance. Providing an immersive soundscape, 'Planet Loss' is self-described by Wallowing as “if crusties wrote 2112.”
