83 7H3R3 4 M3 is the instantly endearing single from 8udDha bl0od which any fans of  The Smashing Pumpkins are going to want to check out.

The acoustic Alt Indie track may seem a little twee in comparison to 8udDha bl0od’s other releases, but the captivating tones offered an all too welcome view of the artists more amorous side.

The intricately quaint acoustically-carved reggae melodies created the perfect platform for 8udDha bl0od’s soft yet sonorous all the same vocals. My soul feels significantly fuller after listening to 83 7H3R3 4 M3, if yours still functions, it’s likely that you’ll feel exactly the same after listening to the aurally resolving track fade to a quiescent close.

A multi-faceted soundscape: 8udDha bl0od release GudMorganKorgOrgan

Posted on 10 May 2020
8udDha bl0od · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/william-orpen/gudmorgankorgorgan" title="GudMorganKorgOrgan; K!ng5 0f C0inc!:.3nc3: .:3.:.:. & .:.liGudMorganKorgOrgan; K!ng5 0f C0inc!:.3nc3: .:3.:.:. & .:.li<3 .:.g.:.!n

Release after release, 8udDha bl0od never cease to stupefy with their unparalleled style, and if you sift through each of their tracks you’ll see they truly are a one-of-a-kind gig.

It’s astounding, almost mesmerizing what they’ve done in one of their latest releases GudMorganKorgOrgan, coming in at 35:53 with multiple songs in one track as to create a multi-versatile masterpiece. In a way it reminded me of what Radiohead did with Paranoid Android, however definitely not as indie and lyric-centred; besides, here 8udDha bl0od classify as having folk roots that magnify every single part of GudMorganKorgOrgan.

There’s some sort of style shift between each track – starting from what strikes as folkloristic melodies leading to a surprising synth-tetic loop that drops into an acoustic guitar strumming. The vocals immediately handed me a memento of Thom Yorke’s vocal flair.

All in all, GudMorganKorgOrgan is not just a song, it’s a sensory experience you plunge into to appreciate a multi-faceted soundscape you’ll be able to taste, hear, and see.

Let 8udDha bl0od overwhelm you with GudMorganKorgOrgan on Soundcloud.

8udDha bl0od – N1c071n3 GUnn: get into your kookiest mood

Posted on 10 May 2020

Completely unlike what we’ve heard before from 8udDha bl0od, N1c071n3 GUnn brings on a punk energy you may have already experienced during that “God save the queen” era.

Condensed in only 1:59, the song burst out in a guitar rampage that makes you appreciate the rawness of the distortion and overall sound, as if it was a plug-in and play endeavor. That sound – how rough, furious, rock. Love it!

I really hope many of you are ready to be thrown into a moshpit because this track will definitely make you want to start one.

Get into your kookiest mood and go wild with N1c071n3 GUnn on Soundcloud.

8udDha bl0od – !n57.:.j.:.M: Di0nY5U5: Cinematically Dystopian Scuzz-Laden Psych Rock

Posted on 10 May 2020

!n57.:.j.:.M: Di0nY5U5 is the recently released cinematically dystopian single by Brighton-based musician 8udDha bl0od. At least, that’s how it starts.

As the aural doom starts to clear, the ring of the distorted guitars gets sharper while the energy in the mix amplifies through the tribally percussive beats which start to manifest in the mix.

With !n57.:.j.:.M: Di0nY5U5, 8udDha bl0od proved that harsh discordant psychedelic scuzz has always had the capacity to be entrancing. Who knew?

No one does progressive tracks like 8udDha bl0od. No matter how many times we delve into his Machiavellian ingenuity, we’re always left psyched. Pun intended.

You can listen to !n57.:.j.:.M: Di0nY5U5 for yourselves by heading over to SoundCloud now.

8udDha bl0od – HAppY 5AD: Pr!nce DjAng0 PURple fA!n of 3<35

Posted on 8 May 2020

8udDha bl0od is one of the most versatile artists we’ve encountered in 2020, with each new release they blow our minds a little more, and their recently released romantically nostalgic single “HAppY 5AD: Pr!nce DjAng0 PURple fA!n of 3<35” was no exception.

HAppY 5AD: Pr!nce DjAng0 PURple fA!n of 3<35 felt like an aural cuddle. Just why the blend of Progressive Synth Pop and 60s Psych was consoling I’m not all too sure, but the consciousness-devouring soundscape is extremely efficacious all the same. I have a feeling that any fans of ELO will definitely want to make HAppY 5AD: Pr!nce DjAng0 PURple fA!n of 3<35 a staple track on their playlists.

HAppY 5AD: Pr!nce DjAng0 PURple fA!n of 3<35 will be available for release along with the rest of the album from May 17th via SoundCloud. In the meantime, you can check out the artists myriad of dynamic releases.

8udDha bl0od is set to release their tenderly sedative single “Time’s Warps: ii.iii Days Go By”

Posted on 7 May 2020

King Crimson fans will definitely want to nestle into 8udDha bl0od’s engrossingly melodious Alt Folk Rock single Time’s Warps: ii.iii Days Go By.

The tenderly sedative soundscape incorporates a kick of psychedelia into the practically celestial progressions which will gently pull you through the ingenuity which we’ve come to expect from 8udDha bl0od.  Yet, Time’s Warps: ii.iii Days Go By is by far one of the purest unalloyed tracks we’ve heard from the Brighton-based artist so far. Stunning feels like an understatement when it comes to this almost neo-classic composition.

You’ll have to wait a little longer before you can check out Time’s Warps: ii.iii Days Go By for yourselves. In the meantime, you can head over to the artist’s SoundCloud page and check out 8udDha bl0od’s earlier releases.

8udDha bl0od – 50n!c AD<3n7Ur3: 06.2.3 : Cr.:.2Y 8U773rflY fx: Dystopianly Dark Electronica

Posted on 6 May 2020

Fans of dystopic Lynchian ambient soundscapes will definitely want to delve into the entrancingly eerie tones in 8udDha bl0od’s upcoming single 50n!c AD<3n7Ur3: 06.2.3 : Cr.:.2Y 8U773rflY fx.

The instrumental soundscape feels like a calm before an ethereal aural storm. The same chilling sensation you get while watching vintage horror flicks as you wait for the insidiousness to seep manifests through the cold glistening tones and swirling voids of kaleidoscopically monochrome magnetism.

You’ll have to wait until March 12th to check out 50n!c AD<3n7Ur3: 06.2.3 : Cr.:.2Y 8U773rflY fx for yourselves. In the meantime, you can check out 8udDha bl0od’s earlier releases via SoundCloud.

‘Silver’ by 8udDha bL0od:  Tripping The Light Fantastic – emphasis on tripping!

Posted on 25 April 2020

8udDha bL0od’s new release ‘Silver’ packs some serious punch. It’s a short track, coming in at just 2.05, but it is a pleasurable, harmonious petit four that you just can’t get enough of. Like early Brian Wilson, 8udDha bL0od is adventurous and groundbreaking in their approach to harmony and electronic manipulation. Their expert musicality cannot be denied and they do what all great bands do – they confidently understate  their genius by laying back on the track and timing their crescendos perfectly, coaxing the listener, lulling them like psychedelic pied pipers, with hypnotic flowing guitar licks and mellow, close harmonies.

William Orpen is the mastermind behind 8udDha bL0od and he shrouded in mystery. I like it!

The music is everything and ego has been minimised to an admirable degree. We get to focus on the story, the motives, and the way that it is all pulled together, and its done with a skill that uses the best of the past to inspire the generations to come.

Have a listen to this cool track by 8udDha bL0od called ‘Silver’ on Soundcloud. You’re gonna love where they take you and you may never want to back!

8udDha bl0od – 83n5 I00P – Relax your mind and float downstream…

Posted on 21 April 2020

This song is a party, psychedelic trip into your senses, filled with various instruments and low-fi frequencies. Nothing sounds organised, like chaos has been planted on shifting sands, with an efficiency that’s deliberately broken by peculiarities.

Imagine thinking you’ve got it, nothing can surprise you, and then they find a way! At one point, there’s a loud guitar, amped up so you’re called to attention for no particular reason, and later there is a moment where the record seems to jump so everything can return at an increased volume.

This song’s strength is that it finds a way to appeal to my rock sensibilities while still belonging, unmistakeably, to the psychedelic genre.

Close your eyes, dreamers, and take a trip with 8udDha bl0od

8udDha bl0od releases compelling track n3<3r3nD3r

Posted on 20 April 2020

Artist 8udDha bl0od is known for releasing his incredibly unique pieces of music often and here his track ‘n3<3r3nD3r’.

Going straight in with the heavy Rock style tune, making a lot of noise and going straight in with the suspenseful instrumentation and the raucous distorted vocals. Keeping that loudness going throughout the rest of the track has that same eerie intriguing rhythm that grips you in.

Some of 8udDha bl0od pieces tend to either be more based on sound, but this one mixes the two together, showing how he can pour his own Rock essence into his music as well as giving his listeners a variety of tones he portrays through each track.

Check out 8udDha bl0od’s n3<3r3nD3r by heading on over to SoundCloud now.
