Biipiigwan - Nibaak

Artist: Biipiigwan

Album: Nibaak

Label: Sel-Released

Year: 2012

Country: Canada

Genre: Sludge Metal

Biipiigwan are a sludge metal band from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This is their debut EP. The band is fronted by Musqwaunquot "Musky" Rice, a Ojibwe Anishinaabe First Nations man, and the band takes their name from the Anishinaabemowin word for "war whistle". The title of this EP translates loosely to "wake up!". The lyrics revolve around traditional teachings and the oppressive systems of colonial governments. Musically, the band's brand of sludge is an all out colossal onslaught, teeming with heavy and powerful riffs that come down on your skull like a mammoth stampede. The band flavors these monolithic dirges with dissonant leads that are more devastating than anything any band from the American south has ever conjured. Across the three songs on this EP Biipiigwan solidify their place in the modern sludge scene, and in my opinion could easily claim throne.

Year: 2009

Xolotl were a pre-hispanic black metal band based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. They share members with Yaotl Mictlan, and released this one self-titled album. The band takes their name of the sinister Aztec god of lightning and death, and lyrically draw from stories in both Aztec and Mayan mythology. Musically, Xolotl obvious carries some similarities to their sister band, but opt for shorter, more violent tracks than the long-form atmospheric black metal of Yaotl Mictlan. In addition the band incorporates many traditional indigenous flutes, whistles, and percussion into their music that adds a layer of mystique and transports you to the temples of Tenochtitlan.

Sangre Y Tierra was a one man raw depressive black metal act from Holyoke, Massachusetts. This is their debut EP. In addition to themes of self-hatred and depression, Sangre Y Tierra write songs about Puerto Rican and Taino history and ancestral pride. On their debut offering, Sangre Y Tierra create a short but power statement of hatred and loathing. The record starts with a mid-pace dirge seething with venom and a pain that is palpable in the vocal performance. Right after "Pegado A Mierda" unleashes a belligerent torrent of contempt, only with things to slowly crash and fade into oblivion on the final track. A formidable initial offering from this Taino DSBM act.
