Esrarr — Sacrificial Lamb Tape

Esrarr
Sacrificial Lamb — EP, Cassette Tape

Sacrificial Lamb EP is a sophomore release from Esrarr, released on June 2015, through Exit Records and Noisemongers Records, stands as a formidable entry in Malaysia's underground sludge metal scene. Hailing from Jerantut, Pahang — Esrarr delivers a raw, dry, gritty and unfiltered sound that pays homage to genre stalwarts like Weedeater, Leechfeast, and Grief. 

Recorded live at Zmin Studio between December 2014 and March 2015, the EP captures the band's unpolished and gritty aesthetic. Mixed and mastered by Aman Madness, the production maintains a balance between clarity and the inherent roughness of sludge metal.

The EP's sound is characterized by heavy, downtuned guitar riffs, distorted bass, slow-mid groove tempos, and a dense atmosphere that immerses the listener in a bleak sonic landscape. The tracks exhibit a consistent thematic focus on despair and societal critique, common in sludge metal narratives. For fans of raw and uncompromising sludge metal, Esrarr's Sacrificial Lamb offers a compelling glimpse into Malaysia's burgeoning heavy music scene.
