For those of you who dug Quicksand, but always felt that they could have been a bit heavier (or something), then you should probably give Kowloon Walled City a spin. If you happen to name your band after an enclosed city in Hong Kong that was once a military fort during the 19th century, you're probably both a genius and also a metal band -- at least logic would lead me to believe so. I can't sit inside this fort (aka my house) and tell you that I know too much about metal and sludge rock (I love Slayer and Iron Maiden...at least Powerslave and Number of the Beast), but I'd like to think that it's hard not to appreciate a good riff that practically makes you feel as though it's illegal to not headbang in its presence. So, I give you Kowloon Walled City's "Diabetic Feet," via my buddy Asa. Better stretch your neck first.
"Diabetic Feet" is from the band's 2009 album Gambling On the Richter Scale.
Digging that? Well, the nice gents of Kowloon Walled City offer Gambling On the Richter Scale for free download over at their site along with two other releases.
