San Francisco's KOWLOON WALLED CITY released their now classic sophomore album, Container Ships, via Brutal Panda Records in 2012. Led by poignant guitar melodies soaked in malaise and a powerful rhythm section, Container Ships flawlessly combines elements of sludge, post-rock, and indie rock to create a truly unforgettable, heavy as an oil tanker, listening experience. The album comes in a gatefold jacket featuring the stunning photography of Roy Zipstein.
"Neurosis-like bludgeons, the more melancholic moments of Isis, the noodly elements of Pelican and a dose of Hymns-era Godflesh, KWC coalesce established elements into a dense yet sprawling whole that’s equally enduring." - Metal Hammer
"colossal...a well-built monument to disrepair." - Pitchfork
"just about the heaviest thing out there while still being accessible." - 4/5 Punk News
"A monolithic mash-up of sludge metal and noise rock that provides a relentlessly bleak soundtrack for a desolate urban landscape." - Sputnik Music
