SLUDGESTEP.

Or at least that's how the creator describes it. To me, honestly, it seems like a fairly spastic dubstep with extremely wobbly basses, distorted keyboards, epileptic rhythms, a slimy groove behind the wall of sound and a hint of Frenchcore. Now, listening to it, a doubt came to mind.

Does it make sense? Does it make sense to mix two genres as different as sludge and dubstep, moreover without any real reason? Can something interesting come out of it? Fifteen minutes tell me yes, then I think about it again. In 2012, does it still make sense to experiment, or try to blend absolutely antithetic sounds? Or are we past the expiration date, better to devote ourselves to the irony of post-modern pastiche or nostalgia (even for things we don't remember)?

In the meantime, I would say download it, this one (for free, on the side). Maybe it's utterly useless, but maybe it's a future masterpiece. In the meantime, it rocks.
