Milyam’s “Lost in the Jungle” Unfolds Less Like a Song and More Like an Invitation to Disappear
Like stepping through a curtain of vines into a place that seems to breathe on its own, Milyam’s “Lost in the Jungle” unfolds less like a song and more like an invitation to disappear. Not in a sinister way, though there’s certainly something eerie lurking beneath its surface, but in the kind of way dreams
A Tectonic Shift in Independent Metal That Refuses To Play Nice
X-ANONYMOUS doesn’t ask for permission on RIP OUT THE VENOM but instead kicks the door down with a riff that feels like a chemical spill. It is the kind of heavy that sticks to your ribs and makes the air in the room feel four degrees hotter because the energy is so concentrated and unrepentant.
