Northern Sludge

hebosagil, a really great finnish sludge band recently put up their first ep and full lenght from last year up for free at their website. their sound is very similar to eyehategod, with a hint of electric wizard style fucked up psych doom thrown in.

here's their split with another great new finnish band, viisikko from last summer. viisikko remind me a lot of the seminal finnish hardcore band radiopuhelimet (esp. their 90s album jäämeri), both in their sound and general attitude. maybe their northern hometown oulu has something in the air or the water that makes you a bit twisted and weird, as viisikko, radiopuhelimet, hebosagil and a huge amount of other awesome bands (terveet kädet from tornio) are from near there.
