HEATH DAVIS

Heath Davis is a visual and auditory artist from Salem who also writes transgressive fiction. Post-industrial doomgaze and an attempt at beat poetry.
MOUNTAIN OF WOE
(Syracue, NY)
Mountain of Woe from Syracuse NY delivers thick, quaking guitar drone sculpted into pieces verging on traditional song structure. A melding of brooding lo frequency drone, slowcore, “post,” and feedback worship into a dense stew of emotional, narrative songs, or as sole member Matthew Jaime simply calls it: wall of sound music.
Mos settings. In a way, the amps are band members. A wall of sound in every sense.
