In 1994, one of the songs I listened to most was Smashing Pumpkins' "Plume" from the b-sides compilation Pisces Iscariot (some of which holds up pretty well, by the way). Besides the intergalactic guitar solos, I loved how the relentlessly heaviness the main riff still managed to sound fluid and flexible. When I came across No Joy a couple of week ago, I was reminded of "Plume" because the two songs they've posted to their Bandcamp site manage the same trick. The self-titled song (?) "No Joy" surges with riffage that doesn't pummel the listener so much as lull them into some kind of guitar trance. Since the vocals, buried under a mountain a distortion and cymbals crashes, are almost incidental, the draw of the song is the hypnotic quality of the music.
