Miami psychedelic noise conjurers, Orbweaver released Strange Transmissions from the Neuralnomicon EP, a five-track mind eraser that was recorded at Miami’s Pinecrust Studios with Jonathan Nunez of Torche at the controls and mixed/mastered with Brian Elliot at Mana Recording Studios (Hate Eternal, Cannibal Corpse, Goatwhore, Exhumed), earlier this year. The band’s tones spiral through the realms of psychedelia, noise, and a warped interpretation of death metal. Fluctuating between these erratic, trance-like elements, the foursome produce an eclectic sonic ruckus reminiscent of a Zappa-esque brand of controlled chaos.
Ghettoblaster recently caught up with guitarist vocalist Randy Piro and guitarist Sally Gates to discuss some records that left marks on them in 2013.  This is what they cited.
