DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
    The follow-up to their terrific 2012 debut sees this heavy prog ensemble returning with more of their expansive instrumental heaviness, once again exploring a killer fusion of intricate progressive rock, deep dub-influenced grooves, textured instrumentation and punishing, sludgy riffery. These guys are my favorite band on the RareNoise roster, and while they might not be as overtly metallic as the likes of Obake, Doctoring The Dead witnesses some of the heaviest stuff I've heard from the band so far. A prog/avant rock super-group of sorts, Metallic Taste again features the core duo of bassist Colin Edwin from British prog rockers Porcupine Tree and renowned Italian artist Eraldo Bernocchi, who has played in a number of bands I'm a big fan of, notably the ultra-heavy jazz-sludge outfit Black Engine and the classic post-industrial group Sigillum S. Whereas the band's previous album featured acclaimed drummer Balazs Pandi, this time around Edwin enlisted the legendary Ted Parsons of Swans / Jesu / Prong fame to sit behind the kit, and his presence can be felt in the heavy, roiling rhythms that move beneath the band's dark, spacious instrumentals. With a more structured approach than before, these eight tracks unfold into wide panoramas of shadow and fire, founded upon massive dubby grooves so wide that you could fall into them. Those grooves anchor the sheets of lush guitar and spacey effects that sweep across the album, reminiscent of Adrian Belew, and the songs frequently slipping into almost ambient passages of alien electronics, or erupting into softened squalls of processed guitar and abstract glitchery or druggy, sinister space rock. Much of the improvisational jazziness of the first album is stripped away here, leaving a leaner, darker beast that often treads into windswept post-rock territory.
    And when they bring the hammer down, these guys are crushing. Huge Sabbathian riffs slowly uncoil out of that dazed dub haze, and passages of gorgeous, moody melody erupt into sludgy, fuzz-blasted grooves in the album's heaviest moments. Really great stuff. If you're a fan of the general RareNoise aesthetic then you're probably already clicking on the "buy" button now, but you should definitely check this out if you're into stuff like the more atmospheric Painkiller recordings, or the dub-fueled heaviness of Blind Idiot God or Dub Trio, certain chapters of the Godflesh catalog, or the strange jazz-metal of Yakuza or Ephel Duath. Not that these guys sound quite like any of those aforementioned bands - this much groovier - but there's a similar spirit at work here, blending and blurring the realms of jazz and metal, dub and prog rock with a high degree of skill and vision to create dark, fascinating, eminently listenable music.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
