Warthur
Black Breath's sweaty, Black Flag-inspired blackened death 'n' roll crust punk thrash metal horror show sound got its start here, and whilst I think it came together a bit better on Sentenced to Life I find Heavy Breathing to be a reasonably credible debut for the group. This time around I think the hardcore punk influences are somewhat moree overt - though subtlety really isn't one of Black Breath's strong points, I think the balance of the album is more towards their punk side whereas the successor drew out their metal side a little more, and where metal does intrude here it isn't quite as smoothly integrated as it is on the successor. The end result is crusty and dirty as hell and is a lot of fin with it, and is definitely worth a try unless you really don't like hyper-aggression in your music, but I'd still say Sentenced to Life should be your first port of call.
