"..That? That’s the sound of a skull being pulverized.
During the final seconds of “Sour Diesel,” a song by Salt Lake
City-based band Nine Worlds, pleading whimpers fade into melodic
guitars. Rhythm is replaced by human pants and gasps. The pendular
drone stops and a single pronounced thwack lays claim to the final beat.
It’s the sound of a bowling pin crushing someone’s face; a wet symphony of bone matter mixing with brains.
Something so gross never seemed so beautiful. Nine Worlds falls at the place where opposites meet, where nothing
is true black or pure white. They aren’t rock or metal or experimental
or sludge or hardcore. With members from defunct hardcore band Chaldeon
and experimental metal band Xur, making music in this kind of
in-between zone wasn’t exactly a thing that any of them could have
imagined."

"Since its establishment, Nine Worlds is investing heavily in the live. Two years, these four friends share promiscuity groups that alternate between crappy jobs to support the most basic, local tours and sometimes arduous, often strewn with obstacles.
The hard not enthusiastically claimed this sacrificial way of life, will lead the group to cross the beautiful world, the darkness of Wolves In The Throne Room, mud Lair Of The Minotaur, The Abominable Iron Sloth or Zoroaster, passing by flights from Minsk, Rosetta, Battlefields and many others.
And undergo some changes in personnel, including the latest line-up collects Kory Q Xur as second guitarist. Like the latter group and other colleagues on the cross roads, the sensitivity of the Nine Worlds grows in the wake of a yawning sludge metal atmospheric fog with deviations ( "Sour Diesel", as the drug) that could driving near the post-hardcore in its first recording. The ep eponymous self-released in production during 2008."

"Nine Worlds takes the pace of super slow doom/ambient metal and speed it up just enough too keep you connected. I get undeniably impatient with 12-minute-plus songs that fade into nowhere, but here I found a satisfying four-song EP with all tracks in perfect timing. The tracks travel with a basic (61) SaltLakeUnderGround heavy loop of repetitive, sludge-filled rhythm separated by breakdowns that resume a notch heavier. Titillating bass lines and math rockish guitar are a monster part of the sound, paired with a well-balanced amount of masculinity and femininity. My favorite track is "Everyone's In A Fucking Band," (which is a fucking awesome song name) it has a lonely twang that plays with samples from the movie, A Scanner Darkly. Thank you Nine Worlds for offering a noteworthy release. Stoners, roll up your sleeves." ––Nicole Dumas
