Fever Songs by Godot

As we find fewer of our needs fulfilled through family, community, friends, or institutions, codependent romantic relationships pick up steam as one concise yet deeply flawed outlet for all of our desires. This existential insecurity combined with the faux safety of codependence sparks the wild energy of Fever Songs by Godot, a deeply empathetic and innovative sludge metal album detailing the absolute self-annihilation following the breakdown of an unhealthy relationship. We feel every bump on the road to recovery, every relapse and regret translated into crisply produced yet face-meltingly intense walls of dissonant, noisy guitar. These moments combine sludgy rhythms and riffing with noise rock tones and harmonics, creating one of the heaviest possible products that could still retain the remarkable clarity seen here. Strained vocals bark esoteric, mystical retellings of personal trauma, recasting ex lovers as unappeasable gods and the government as an inorganic killing machine. Despite their deep regrets over lost time and perpetuated insecurity, Godot provides us no other alternative, reiterating the constant self-destruction that persists in social atomization.
