Bandcamp Roulette: Doom Meets Sludge Meets Post-Everything With Might's 'Abyss'

Bandcamp Roulette: Doom Meets Sludge Meets Post-Everything With Might's 'Abyss'

- By Corinne Westbrook

The Knotfest discovery series takes a chance on new artists to find hidden talent thriving in the underground.

Crawling out of the darkness of sludge covered doom, Might layer crunch and fuzz, melancholy and potency on their sophomore album, Abyss. Pulling from a swath of genres including black metal, sludge, doom, post-rock and shoegaze, Might have crafted their own space in the genre that is uncompromising and raw in its power.

Kicking off the album is a short stroll through dulcet piano tones layered under tar covered riffs. The album then picks up the page on “Lost” adding extra layers of fuzz and crunch to the somber tone of the album. “Abysses” adds an element of mystery to the album, while “Circles” brings almost a punky vibe, picking up the pace.

“Who’s Ahead” acts as an interlude in the album, giving the listener a moment after “Circles.” “Tightrope Walk” has strong 60s rock vibes, especially on the vocals. Dreamy and sad at the same time. “How Sad A Fate” marks the longest track on the album and is a microcosm of the album itself. Fully encapsulating the journey.

Abyss is an exercise in perfect balance. Loud and soft, harsh and serene, all complement each other perfectly throughout the course of the album. Might have crafted something that takes you through each level of emotional intensity, the highs and the lows, in a dream-like manner. The range of influences showcase this band’s musical prowess and the songwriting is as intriguing as it is engaging. Pick up your copy of Abyss HERE.

    The last time Cigarettes After Sex played a headline show in the UK was in a pre-Covid world, and the extensive queue line full of eager fans outside of Manchester’s O2 Apollo on the first night of the band’s return tour is hard proof of just how much they’ve been missed on these shores.

    News Story

    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
