Editorial Reviews

After a several year hiatus, Bloodlet are back to blow your mind with heavy, complex guitar riffs that drill through you like a diamond-studded bit and blood-curdling vocal delivery of their strangely beautiful lyrics. To prevent you from flat-lining under this bonecrushing onslaught, the wicked percussion acts as your pacemaker, steady and tribal throughout. With their groundbreaking, unique style, Bloodlet’s new release, "Three Humid Nights In The Cypress Trees" greets a large following that has been clamouring in anticipation for over three years. Their trademark breakdowns with crushing climaxes are heightened and illuminated by Scott Angelacos’ roaring vocals. Recorded in Chicago with producer Steve Albini,"Three Humid Nights In The Cypress Trees" showcases the band’s most intense, insightful work to date. Previous releases served as a blueprint for the nu-metal and metal-core scenes that are enjoying huge popularity today, and "Three Humid Nights In The Cypress Trees" will drive sales beyond Bloodlet’s large fanbase and into the mainstream of heavy music.

Whilst I respect the views expressed here, please do not be put off by some of the more negative comments regarding this album. I bought all 4 recently, and I honestly rate this as their best.The album has an earthy groove to the sound, Scott Angelacos' vocals ( clean singing plus growly) suit the music perfectly and I am dismayed they broke up after this album. It is a natural ( though far more rewarding) progression from 'The Seraphim fall',it does not rampage in all out fury but is far more sophisticated than the 2 early albums. It stands well amidst all their output, and anyone into Today is the Day and Neurosis will enjoy this music.

This review is from: Three Humid Nights in the Cypress Trees (Audio CD)

I was initially surprised to see a new CD from the mighty Bloodlet, but did not hesitate to pick it up. It hasn't left my CD player since. The dirty Bloodlet sound is still there. The sludgy, rusty chainsaw guitars and drum work that gives the feeling of "life" to the songs are unmistakable. What has changed are the vocals. The first track greets you with Scott Angelacos singing (yes, singing) "can't stop staring at the mirror.." in a sorrowful, sustained voice. He switches back to his choking on gravel vocals soon enough, but the eerie things he says are almost creepier than his older vocals. The musicianship is a whole new level for the Floridians, painting more imagery of human misery, depravity, and pain. Without a doubt, this is going to be one of the biggest albums for a long time from anyone.

Own the Eclectic album as a purist. Own Entheogen as a barnacle clinging to the Titanic. Own The Seraphim Fall as a member of the faith. Don't own Three Humid Nights in the Cypress Tree. Sorry Steve Albini... I'll calm down, but I'm shaking.
