FROM CVLT NATION:
MARRIAGE AND CANCER, s/t
It’s the archetypical PNW day and the grey, damp haze is suffocating my existence. Portland’s Marriage + Cancer get where I’m coming from – their new s/t set to release next year is the perfect dissonant and grimy soundtrack to these dark days. Today I’m going to share a small piece of this excellent LP with you in the form of “God is Tan,” so hit play below and release some of the chill in your bones.

FROM HEX RECORDS:
MARRIAGE AND CANCER, s/t
Once I moved out to Portland I had the chance to see a number of local bands do their thing and within a couple of months of living here Marriage and Cancer released their debut full length, and I have to say, I’ve never heard a band quite like them. Easily the loudest damn band in town and with a jangly, weird, heavy, and strange sound all their own they found a way to make the wild sounds of bands like Drive Like Jehu sound downright creepy, discomforting, and melancholy. It’s quite a feat and as odd as that may sound it still rocks my socks off.

FROM RAISED BY GYPSIES:
MARRIAGE AND CANCER, s/t
Some time ago (it feels like months) I was submitted a single for "God Is Tan" via SoundCloud and I immediately fell in love with Marriage + Cancer. They have what does sound like "In Utero" era Nirvana but they also have this "Attack On Memory" (Cloud Nothings) sound and even could be compared to a slowed down version of one of my favorite bands who never seems to get talked about much: Garrison.

The music on this album is slow yet fast at the same time. Screams (but you can still make out the words) come through layers of distortion and it just has this overall powerful feel to it. If you think of punk rock as being like a machine gun because it is fast paced, then Marriage + Cancer would undoubtedly be a blowtorch. Nothing here really comes out in notes or bit and pieces; this is sheets of noise that most people will likely tell you is "too loud".

MARRIAGE AND CANCER, s/t
The sheer brutality of Marriage + Cancer.
If Jesus Lizard and In Utero-era Nirvana had a baby it would sound an awful lot like Marriage + Cancer. This quartet from Portland makes a bunch of glorious, crashing, chaotic yet precise, noise on their self-titled debut that comes out near the beginning of next month.

Most bands that attempt this type of sound tend to be unable to bolt the kind of chainlink melodies to the rumbling avalanches of sound that makes the sound unique and not simply derivative. I mean, when I open something with a "RIYL: Jesus Lizard, Nirvana," that's a pretty fucking tall order, right? But Marriage + Cancer earns the comparison.

One of the best noise band around without any hesitation. If you're in Jesus Lizard or Drive Like Jehu this band is for you. Even stronger. Did a review (in French) here. brazil3point0.com/mag/2016/10/la-selection-bandcamp-de-dk-6/
