Premiere: LLNN unleash some epic, atmospheric sludge on “Armada”
On April 27, Copenhagen sludgy hardcore outfit LLNN release their second album Deads via Pelagic, which follows their 2016 debut Loss. And today, Treble is premiering “Armada,” a seven-minute slab of dense and sludgy intensity that falls somewhere between the soaring apocalypse metal of Neurosis and the visceral crust-punk of His Hero is Gone, with some avant garde noise and dark ambient moments sandwiched in between. It’s a work of white-knuckle intensity that moves at slow speeds, ensuring that none of the heaviness gets lost as they take on more experimental textures.
Listen to the LLNN “Armada” stream below.
