Golem - "Sadness" 1999 Demo

Nippon sluuudddggge, pulling inspiration...through cold molasses...from slow death metal instead of the arguably cleaner New Orleans sound. Song structures are traditional (there are no feedback symphonies or shoegaze anywhere within the tape's 18+ minutes), with a curious lack of tangible sustain on the guitars. Lurching, shambling, chugging, but never lags with the places it wants to drunkenly wander...which I'm unsure are as metal as their immediate mindset. Ripped / scanned years ago, and good enough to have been pilfered from me for random stranger's youtube videos (yer fuckin' welcome)...
