Drug Honkey are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plays a very experimental form of doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2008 album "Death Dub" which was re-issued by Diabolical Conquest Records in 2010.
Drums are mostly slow playing with no fast drumming or blast beats, while the samplers are very dark mixing in noise elements and are very evil sounding mixed in with some synths that make the music sound even more darker, as for the bass playing it has a very thick, heavy and noisy tone with some low doomy riffing.
Rhythm guitars are mostly slow, doomy and sludgy sounding riffs with alot of heavy and noisy distortion and there are no guitar leads or solos present on he recording which makes the music sound alot heavier.
Vocals are mixture of deep death metal growls with some high pitched screams and some industrial style vocals, while the lyrics cover despair, drugs, confusion, anti-religion and satanism, as for the production it has a very heavy raw feel to it, but you can still hear all of the musical instruments and one of the songs was recorded live.
In my opinion Drug Honkey are a very good and original sounding experimental sludge/doom/death metal band, and if you are looking for something original, you should check out this band. RECEMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "My Sins" "The Devil Lasts Forever" and "Who The Fuck". RECEMMONDED BUY.
