Kolossor is fiery and thick like sriracha mayo, and plays sludge metal that harkens back to the days of old when Mastodon played music that wasn't geared to the arena rock crowd. When I speak of sludge I'm not talking about the gooey murky type stuff. These dudes are from the swamps of Southern New Jersey, but you'll find none of that stuff here. The sludge riffs found on this EP are massive heavy chunks slab. The ones that are made chugging around in a cement mixer. The singer kind of reminds me of Lars-Goran Petrov's vocals on Entombed's "Wolverine Blues" album. I really like a pronounced low end when there is detuning involved. A lot of that can lost in the distortion, but the bass on this manages to pull off a good heavy handed punch to the gut, and overall the mix on this with the entire band is fucking spot on. The riffs are catchy as fuck, and they hook you right in. Nothing too over complicated here, but it fucking gets the job done if you're for something to bang your head too. Really dig these guy's sound, and from the looks of things there is more to come from these dudes, as they are releasing a full length later this year. Definitely interested in hearing that one when it comes out. Cheers! -Samir
