My favorite North Carolinan riff masters, ASG, have been on my radar for about a year now. Last year, they released Blood Drive to critical acclaim, mixing melody with their signature big, burly riffs and packing a varied enough punch that the record made the year-end lists for lots of sites and publications.
To my pleasure, then, the band have released a new single - 'From Beyond' that's right out of left field again. At only three and a half-minutes it's horrifically short, but in that brief window the band manage to simultaneously echo their past efforts while interjecting the sensibility of Blood Drive-era songwriting. It's crushingly heavy, and the band this time move at a stolid, mid-tempo pace that veers into straight-up doom domain near the end of the song.
You can listen to it here.
