Today’s Random Album of the Day is Dead Eyes from Khünnt. They are a sludge noise band from the UK. I really like sludge noise, though it’s not good for casual listening per se.
This is pretty good sludge noise. The music is heavy with a slow tempo as sludge noise tends to be. It might have appeal to noisy metal fans in addition to noise fans. This style of music is an acquired taste for sure. And it’s kind of best live in some respects.
However, it is not entirely compatible with my illness it seems. I can be sensitive to certain noises, though my sensitivity can vary from day to day. This did trigger some mild symptoms so I only gave it a single listen and moved on.
I think when it comes to noise I do prefer slightly catchier riffs and shorter songs than this. These are long sings. But this is good, so I don’t want to confuse that preference with an assessment of the quality of the music.
Rating: 7.5
Favorite Song: Rhoijse Nojyk
Keep or Trash: Keep. I considered not keeping due to the illness compatibility issue but my sensitivity may improve at some point. When I saw a noise band came up with material I didn’t have I thought I might opt to buy more, but this isn’t music I expect to play a lot of. So I’ll keep this and go from there.

Every day, or nearly every day anyhow, I will randomly select an album from my collection of digital music, listen to it, and share it here. – Jayne
My wife and I are board gamers and we gamify nearly everything in life. This includes our music listening. We use a dice catapult to roll dice and then use the dice results to pick our vinyl listens. So why not do something similar for the blog?
