Clarity Amongst the Rubble

Clarity Amongst the Rubble

A trip-hop/stoner metal hybrid with goth in their minor-key melodies and industrial in their robot beats, this Oakland married couple make a racket that shifts from vaporous to tumultuous. “God That Failed” revels in drag, drone, distortion, and dub, with other songs walking a thin line between erotic and creepy. Jason Myles’s guitar tone shovels crusty dirt, while Cyndi Melanio climbs from overheard murmurs to a full-throated roar in “Fear of the Burning Darkness” and six-minute closer “The Conquering Darkness.” Notice a theme?
