SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY TO START YOUR WEEK WITH: PRISTINA

I’m at a loss for words to describe how heavy Pristina’s new track “Salt Water Cthulhu” is. As Kirk Windstein might say, it’s “heavier than pre-op Johnny Popper bashing the living you-know-what out of Carnie Wilson in a tub of lard”… except if I’m being honest, it’s really heavier than that.  Parts of “Salt Water Cthulhu” approach Portal levels of heaviness… ok ok, I said “approach,” not “reach.” It’s the first I’ve heard from this Connecticut band, and I like what I’m hearing, a lot.

Check out the new track from Pristina’s forthcoming album The Drought (ov Salt and Sorrow), due September 28 on Trendkill Recordings (pre-order here). If the rest of the album’s got more of the same I’ll be a happy camper.
