Sludge outfit V (featuring current/ex- members of Katatonia, In Mourning, etc.) are wallowing in the depressed, emotive corner of the genre. Instead of the bludgeoning nihilism generally expected of the genre, V weave mournful melodies and distant vocals with slow, thick instrumentals on their new album, Pathogenisis. Listen to new track “At the End of Your Time” to get an idea of what to expect from the album, out November 8 on Suicide Records.
