Review: San Francisco based noise-rock titans, Kowloon Walled City, return with arguably their strongest output to date in the form of the obliterating, 'Piecework'. Slipping directly into the cavernous cracks between doom and sludge metal, yet approached with a post-hardcore mindset; these hefty pieces convey a despairing ethos not necessarily akin to their brand of trudging anguish. Cathartic, dissonant and emotive, the sum of their discordant parts culminates in a wearisome fusion with plenty of ethereal space left for the arrangements to swell and breathe. Part noise-punk/part sludgy slowcore, few projects within these scenes war with their own dynamism in such fervent fashion.
