American sludge metal band Buzzov•en released their second studio album Sore in 1994. Lasting over an hour, this album perhaps has the most vicious, violent sound ever recorded, but in the purest and most honest way. In a positive review, AllMusic called it “certainly not pretty or laudable in any sense” but praised the band for being able to “harness this negativity into one of the most potent vessels of hatred and rage since Black Flag in the early 1980s”.
