In 2002 the heaviest band to hit the face of the planet since Sabbath, Floor, unleashed their self-titled album FLOOR. This seismic behemoth is a timeless legend in the world of Sludge. The album begins with "Scimitar". With no hesitation, the song jumps right into the ultra heavy free-fall that is the FLOOR tone. If you have not heard this band before, the FLOOR tone is one that elicits a trans that should be illegal it slams so hard. Riff by riff, the album trudges along with all of its doom and glory through tracks like "Return to Zero" and "Downed Star". Finally, the slack tuning destruction of "Night Full of Kicks" emerges. This song sets the pace for the direction of the rest of the album. As the album creeps towards the top of this Goliath mound of doom that is has formed around your head, we are presented with "Figured Out". This song acts as a necessary prerequisite to the best track on the album which is grounds enough to make it the second best song. "Tales of Lolita" is the heaviest most melodic single song, ever. You cannot listen to this track enough. You cannot listen to this album enough. This shit is too fucking heavy. Finally, when the last track "Song" presses through, and the final destruction offered by the slack gripped artillery of the guitar makes you realize it is time to stop, you start the album over and begin again.
It is with great honor and excitement that Under City Records be allowed to continue the legacy and help others fall straight through the FLOOR.
Thanks Anthony.
