There is basically nothing out there on the web about End Times Vision, other than their Instagram page and the fact that they are a noise rock/sludge metal band from Athens, GA. At times this debut full-length on Lead Mouth Records veers a little too close to stoner rock for my tastes (not a big fan), but it's sheer presence won me over. This band has a huge, noisy, sludge-punk sound, especially for a 3-piece, and what they honestly sound most like, to me, is Shallow North Dakota. So, I'm already a fan. Hope you enjoy too.
