FFO: Black Sheep Wall, Admiral Angry, Primitive Man
Zach and CJ formally of Taman Shud return with a new project that is the heaviest thing you will hear this year. Is it Taman Shud 2? Nope. This is Ten Fucking Billion.
TFB leave no trace of who Taman Shud were and are a completely different band despite being the same members. Destructive, earthquake causing sludge with depressing and self hating lyrics that make you despise everything possible. You know how you are often filled with a powerful hatred but have to put on a joyful facade? This is the soundtrack to that. Ten Fucking Billion presents: Panacea For the Purged.
Beginning the release is the song, "Diomede". It begins with a sample I can't identify but soounds like its from a very old movie being played on a projector with the device breaking down and then immediately slams in the caveman riffs. Zach's vocals still sounds like he is ripping his vocal chords to shreds and I will never understand how he doesn't. The riffs are both heavy breakdowns with borderline black metal tremelo picking behind it. Halfway through is a somewhat post-metal break where the guitar is cleaner but still dark then immediately slams in more heavy. Joining at this point is Lord Mourned, Billy Nicholls himself. Vocals go back and forth between billy and Zach as a heavy odd timed breakdown destroys the atmosphere around it (in a good way), then the outro riff begins, a heavier slower breakdown that makes you want to fight god himself. The song ends with an almost Frontierer sounding electronic as well.
The next song is the title track which is more of a filler interlude. Mostly electronic, the beginning just makes me feel like Im sitting in a white room with my hands on my head thinking of everything wrong with my life. More strange eerie noise and feedback later is presented, almost comparable to Full of Hell's not as obnoxious noise.
Panacea for the Purged leads right into the next song, "Tapiwa" with the most force. More Black Sheep Wall style riffs with black metal riffs behind it with more screeching vocals. Eventually the songs breakdowns slow down with odd drum timing until outta nowhere our friend Neil of Filed of Vision enters with his forceful vocals. If you've heard Black Sheep Walls first album, you will hear many similariies with this song. Halfway through there is a part comparable to a chaotic Dillinger song with quick instrumentals with the vocals matching up perfectly, then ends with a long drone. The heaviest riff begins with the words "I cannot reconcile with fate" over it. The same part is played multiple times slower and slower ecah time with the only filler between being an odd symbols only drum pattern while the guitar drones over it. You'll know its over once you hear the Dummy Bears theme song.
Zach is a pussy.
