Heave Blood & Die, from the cold white north, bring a soundtrack to the fast approaching doomsday. With a heavy guitar- and synth-driven sound, this album blows a breath of fresh air into the metal scene. 'Vol. II' is a truly interesting album from a band who continue to develope their special blend of doom. They draw their inspiration from bands such as Converge, Sunn, Pallbearer and YOB. Echoes from the past may still be heard in the band's sound, from Black Sabbath to Joy Division and Black Flag. Heave Blood & Die carries the torch onwards, mixing their varied taste in music with their doomy roots. Limited to 100 copies on cherry coke coloured vinyl.
