The Roller
Austin’s dropped-D doomsayer The Roller pitches and gnarls like a furiously chained beast, creating a black-cloud haze so heavy it’s borderline psychedelic, and draws out its resin-coated riffs like a Sabbath record played at the wrong speed. But Ozzy and Co. sound positively pop in comparison to the troglodyte roar of singer Mike Morowitz, whose phlegmatic bark evokes the classic death metal rasp of Death’s Chuck Schuldiner. In the recently released Wasted Heritage, the band finally found a proper vessel to disseminate its ominous prophecies.
