THAW – Earth Ground

"Earth Ground" is the second full-length release from Polish BM act Thaw. The sound borrows a little from the anti-cosmic writings of Blut Aus Nord. It starts quite cold and brutal but soon becomes something calmer and more mid-paced, quite hypnotic in an almost-but-not-quite industrial kind of way.  The guys all know their way around their instruments so the playing is tight and assured. The songs are pretty unassuming though – nothing that really stands out as great, but plenty of grooves and an atmosphere that you find yourself sinking into. A good place to be, but not absolutely essential.
