Remote Viewing: State Violence reviewed on Echoes and Dust
London sludge/doom quintet Remote Viewing released their fourth album State Violence on 18 September via Human Worth. The record, produced by Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio, sharpens the band's confrontational sound between gritty sludge riffs and ear-splitting noise rock. Echoes and Dust reviewer Jared Dix describes it as an attempt to confront and purge bitter rage, with the first side delivering four raging sludge punk slammers and the second side turning more expansive.

London sludge/doom quintet Remote Viewing released their fourth album State Violence on 18 September via Human Worth. The record, produced by Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio, sharpens the band's confrontational sound between gritty sludge riffs and ear-splitting noise rock. Echoes and Dust reviewer Jared Dix describes it as an attempt to confront and purge bitter rage, with the first side delivering four raging sludge punk slammers and the second side turning more expansive. The seven-minute "HUMAN RIGHTquot; introduces cello from Hannah Asprey (IAN) and guest vocals from Ross Sargeant (Pascagoula), leading into the epic "Accidental Holiday" — probably the album's high point. The closer "Birds of a Feather is on in a minute" leaves a scorched, melancholy instrumental. Remote Viewing, featuring members of Million Dead, Sly & The Family Drone and Hands Up Who Wants To Die, continue to channel emotional weight into armour rather than weapon.
