Skirting the fine line between atmospheric, post-metal flavored sludge and the hardcore roots of the genre comes Boston based quartet Lymphoma Twins. Their debut album titled ‘The Love and Light of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ’ came out earlier this month and frankly I didn’t know what to expect going in. But one listen to the tracks here makes two things clear; 1. The JC referred to by Lymphoma Twins is probably not the same one worshiped by many around the world. 2. These dudes have a debut album that deserves to be heard by anyone fascinated by hardcore and sludge. The music encapsulates elements that are both atmospheric and hardcore inspired to create a sound that is noisy, hypnotic, abrasive and aggressive all at once. With anti racist message set to vicious hardcore beatdowns in BLM, the dark, opium mist like sludge doom of It Follows Her…, and the psychedelic paranoia induced by Jesus the Christ, Lymphoma Twins deliver a record that is as varied as it is addictive. Heck, there’s even a hauntingly dissonant saxophone thrown in there for a little bit! So stop thinking and bow down to our (seemingly) arachnid savior. ~ Shrivatsan R - Transcending Obscurity

Bio
Lymphoma Twins started in late 2013 as a project for drummer/vocalist Zach Staska to exercise writing new music with limited resources. From October 2013 to early 2015, a single and two EPs worth of drum and bass doom/sludge music was written and released entirely on his own, before finally recruiting bass player P.J. Presti, Staska's cousin and former bandmate in the now defunct The Navidson Record. Together, they debuted as a duo with a new near-ten minute single 'It Follows Her. She is Otherwise Alone.' in January, 2016. With the addition of guitarist Javier Lom later that year, the band has ventured into a new sonic territory that they will continuously explore and exploit. At the end of the day, the goal for the band is to play as loud as possible and not limit themselves.
