Amsterdam duo Flowers carved one of the most intriguing metal recordings of the year, a dystopian mural, the album “Doom City.” Check out the second single off of it, “Chemical Burn.”
The track opens with the massive drum joints by Judith van Oostrum, above which in the abyss formidable and thickened viscous matter hovers, revealing cold drone doom. And like a ray of light, Roos Pollmann’s marvelous vocals come through here for a short while. “Chemical Burn” shapes up just like a preterhuman tool is being made, emitting sparks in an anthropomorphic machine, bending your ears with dissecting, frightening motor riffs. Flowers uncompromisingly pave the way and seem to grind all rock formations with their sound, giving an exciting experience comparable to the works of Khanate or Acid King.
