"Vultures Descend" is a song by experimental music project Greymachine, from the act's debut album, Disconnected. Produced by the band leader Justin Broadrick, it was released on 12 May 2009 as a single via bandmember Aaron Turner's own record label, Hydra Head Records.
The song was released as a 12" vinyl and a cassette single.[1] [2] The 12" single was limited to 600 copies that were pressed on black vinyl with white labels. Each copy has a "DJ style sleeve" with centre hole punched out and with a sticker in the upper right hand corner.[1]
The song was also released for free download prior to the release of the single on Avalanche Recordings' official website.[3] [4]
Tom Breihan of Pitchfork Media described the track as "an extended formless feedback wallow, along the lines of Broadrick's work as Final."[5] Keith Carman of Exclaim! commented, "Apparently, the music is even more cacophonous and doomy than one might expect."[3] Another Exclaim! staff reviewer, Cam Lindsay, described the song as a "mighty fine piece of ruthlessly sludgy noisecore."[6]
