DOWNLOAD: Kongh - "Voice of The Below" (MP3)

Sometime last year I caught wind of a thundering trio from Sweden known as Kongh. The band's Shadows Of The Shapeless conjured ambient darkness with doom and post-metal to bring a unique brand hellfire and brimstone. How can a trio make this much racket? Needless to say I enjoyed the record. Like other European releases by Amenra, Black Sun, Celeste and others that haven't made it across the pond in a big way, Shadows felt like a secret that few in the US had caught on to.
Thankfully, the secret is now out. Seventh Rule will give the LP a proper US release. Dig on one track from that LP, "Voice Of The Below", above. That release comes with news of some US tour dates, though specifics havent sprung up just yet. Until then, throw on your headphones, throw up your horns, and drool at the European dates and videos below...

it's one thing if the band is playing NYC, but why are we subjected to this fucking tools posts when the shit bands he posts about aren't even playing here? if i wanted music recommendations, it wouldn't be from someone named after some shit sell-out song.

Killer track. How do you know where BBG's name comes from anyway?
