Taken back to a once green and pleasant land, now laid desolate by the relentless plundering of industrial commerce and discarded as a raped landscape - not a single thing grows or lives here anymore and only effluent lubricates the exhausted soil. There is nothing - no movement whatsoever - that is until it begins to rain. And it begins to rain concrete pieces the size of your fist, that begin to thunder against the scattered statues of redundant industryana. And that thunder slowly begins to take a composite form - a heavy, crushing sludgy, gritty sound which anamorphically fits the backcloth and sonically absorbs the desolation to form its own presence. For sometime there is life, smashing indiscriminately around at it's inanimate cohabitants, occasionally slowing down as if to change it's mood, before pulverising an unsuspecting structure into the ground. And then as suddenly as it started the rain stops and peace is reasserted and the landscape reverts to the vacant solemn state from which it started. Except, if you look again, there has been a change - much of the steelwork that has been left dormant for so long has taken a new shape - it has taken the shape of a word - MOTHERTRUCKER. Think Sabbath's bath chair fitted with a 1584cc Harley engine, ridden by Pelican and satnav supplied by Kyuss - "Electric Blacksmith" shows a further progression for the West Midlands sludgecore instrumentalists since their debut recording in 2004 and still manages to show less is more without the aid of a vocalist. And watch out for 'The Russian' for he is the real 'Dark Destroyer'!
