Album Review: The Great Black Shark - VOMIT (2019)
After their two demos "The Art of Eating" (2017) and "The Energy consuming Mechanics of Hate" (2017) The Great Black Shark from Athens released their first album "VOMIT" last year. The Great Black Shark is a Greek band dedicating themselves to Post Punk, Noise and Experimental Garage Rock.

"VOMIT" contains ten tracks lasting about 35 minutes. The attribute fitting best to describe the sound on the album is energetic. Steady movement is given by the Garage Rock foundation of the songs. Dark and gloomy Post Punk atmosphere wavers through the air like a cold mist. And then there's the experimental note added by synthetic and analogue sounds which run through the soundscape like little projectiles.
The feeling "VOMIT" creates is a nihilistic and grueling one. The Great Black Sharks give me the impression of watching a concert in the middle of of a post-apocalyptic Mad Max-like world. Agitating and yet motivating the album creates its very own dynamic. This pitch black version of Garage Rock reminds me of New Primals a bit.
"VOMIT" is a humourous, dark and intense freakshow. Probably not made for every day, but definitely a powerful output for lovers of Post Punk, post-apocalyptic themes, Noise and music with experimental outbreaks.
