Kongh
Kongh is an ultra-heavy Swedish trio that formed in 2004,
with their second album, 2009's
Shadow Of The Shapeless, reviewed here.
Part atmospheric hardcore, part stoner/doom, part sludge, and even
a dash of heavy blues,
these guys
show quite a bit more diversity than many bands in any of these
genres.
Though the songs do tend to drag a bit
(only one of the five songs is under 9 minutes in length, with two over
the 15 minute mark), to their credit even the longer ones have
some variation within.
The highlight of the album is the crushing sludgy doom of "Unholy Water",
both the heaviest and most consistent song on offer.
These guys aren't completely off the charts originality-wise,
and at times they're just a bit too oppressive,
but they're bringing more to the table than the average band, and that's
definitely a good thing.
No relation to the mighty Dutch instrumental band
Kong.
