Hunab Ku is a band that was thrusted into my sphere of existence through another amazing, mind-bending band: Polkadot Cadaver a.k.a. Dog Fashion Disco 2: Judgement Day. After that kind of endorsement, I had to check out Hunab Ku, and I ended up downloading their album without hearing any of their music. All I can say is this: be ready for an intense ride. Hunab Ku basically pummels you with ridiculous mathcore riffage and insane vocals, then transports you to abrasive soundscapes that both attack and relax at the same time. Mix that with some totally bizarre influences and other equally impressive and original songs and bam!: The Gaze Inward.
