BARREN WOMB – THE SUN’S NOT YELLOW, IT’S CHICKEN (PURPLE)

“The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken” is the first full-length album from Norwegian noise mongers Barren Womb. After a handful of successful singles and EP’s, the duo have already established their vicious blend of hardcore, black metal, country and rock ‘n’ roll. From the first jangly chords of opener “Kill Hicks” it quickly becomes apparent how much the band has grown since these first efforts. Broader dynamics, more focused songwriting and heavier sounding, topped off with the bleakest lyrics they’ve written to date. Recorded by Ole Spangrud of Morkemakt and mixed by the band themselves, “The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken” features 13 blisteringly honest noise punk ditties, all set in the key of apocalypse. For fans of: Kvelertak, Refused, The Bronx, Drive Like Jehu, Pig Destroyer. Comes on purple vinyl, clear vinyl with splatter. Limited to 500 copies.
