Rvbber Vvitch - Mastvrbations Malveillantes MMXVII (2022 Reissue) (LP)

Shocking and antagonistic in both intent and execution, RVBBERVVITCH is a Canadian extreme metal solo project. While largely within the wider umbrella of black metal, RVBBERVVITCH's unique expression nevertheless evades easy categorization - nor easy consumption. Guitars are harsh and cold, yet seemingly summoned from a post-apocalyptic crater rather than an amp; bass tones are mercilessly overdriven, grinding body and soul into the dirt; cutting out humanity altogether, both blastbeats and doomy stomps pump like pus from a Midi drum-machine; and sinister echoing soundscapes meld with malodorous French vocals, which demonically range heavily distorted screeches to low-pitched grunts.
