The Starving Lesson, by Quiet Man

The Starving Lesson

by Quiet Man

supported by

Lorenzo Post-sludge metal brought to a realm of psychedelia merging with a drone / doom backing, crust, and a hint of noise

A dreary wasteland of caustic sounds creating a harsh contrast for the longer tracks, and adding poignancy to how defeated the vocals are. The use of clean(er) vocals definitely separates the band from others

Opting for a sparse plateau to showcase the decline of civilization, it feels like a transmission to a scorched world, and it is too late to go back Favorite track: Set To Boil Is The New Standard.

Waldmark This is welcome and liked as well :)
Thanks a lot Riff Merchant Records!

Quiet Man , you’re are patching some hurt, thanks, great music to start the day !

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang

pure, undistilled malice. Towering, thunderous riffs melded to feral, gutteral howls. Absolutely enthralling sludge/doom. Crypt-Druid
