Tomorrow is the International Women's Day and that's as good an excuse as any to share what are probably my favourite female vocals in sludge. Overmars are of course giants in the scene, and the kind of music they achieve in this album is just too fucking brilliant. What a great follow-up to the monolith that was Affliction, Endocrine... Vertigo, which was already a testimony of the best that sludge has to offer - and how devastating it can be.
Born Again drags the listener further into the depths, and where it loses in the anger that was characteristic of Affliction, it gains in doomy weight. Down is the way to go. I like that Born Again does not try to repeat the formula of its predecessor, and instead it carves its own path without losing the destructiveness of Overmars - in some ways, it's more of a different perspective.
Born Again came out in 2007 and you can stream it at the Overmars official bandcamp below. You can also browse it for other albums from that band.
