Victorian Whore Dogs are a band from the United Kingdom that plays sludge metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Afternoonified" which will be released in April by Hibernacula Records.
Distorted reverb's start off the album along with some drum beats a few seconds later that start taking the music into more of a heavier direction and the riffs also bring in melodies and tremolo picking at times and after awhile aggressive screaming vocals make their presence known on the recording along with some hardcore style vocals.
A lot of the riffing is very heavily rooted in the 90's while the slower sections of the songs are very heavily influenced by doom metal and all of the songs stick mostly to a very slow yet heavy musical direction from beginning to ending of the recording while there is also a brief use of clean playing and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and some of the vocals also bring in death metal growls.
Victorian Whore Dogs plays a style of sludge metal that is very slow, dark and heavy while also having the heaviness of death metal at times, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and angry themes.
In my opinion Victorian Whore Dogs are a very great sounding sludge metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mutton Shunter" "Murder Boner" "Snatch Flies" and "Southern Fried Homicide". 8 out of 10.
