## Species Aligned With Sludge Metal & Heavy Drone

- [Blue Whale](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/blue-whale/) (*Balaenoptera musculus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Sunn O))), "It Took the Night to Believe"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Monolithic amplifier drones sunk to the floor of the bass register, matched to calls measured off Antarctica averaging 189 decibels at 25 to 29 Hz.
  - **Superpower**: Calls measured off Antarctica averaging 189 decibels at 25 to 29 Hz, thought to carry up to 1,000 miles in the right ocean conditions
- [European Mole](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/european-mole/) (*Talpa europaea*)
  - **Musical Match**: BIG|BRAVE, "Muted Shifting of Space"
  - **Biological Rationale**: A European mole digs with front feet turned permanently outward, and moles are known to build fortress mounds that at times hold more than 750 kg of soil. BIG|BRAVE build their songs from slow, sustained, crushingly heavy guitar chords that move like earth being shifted.
  - **Superpower**: Digs tunnel networks that can run hundreds of metres, with five-clawed front feet turned outward
- [Giant Antarctic Sea Spider](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/giant-antarctic-sea-spider/) (*Colossendeis megalonyx*)
  - **Musical Match**: BIG|BRAVE, "Of This Ilk"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Its eggs, held at -1.8 °C in the lab, took about eight months to give a first larva. Of This Ilk is just as unhurried: a few heavy guitar chords drawn out at a crawl.
  - **Superpower**: Like other sea spiders it has no gills: oxygen diffuses in through pores in its cuticle
- [Giant Barrel Sponge](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/giant-barrel-sponge/) (*Xestospongia muta*)
  - **Musical Match**: Sunn O))), "Alice"
  - **Biological Rationale**: A giant barrel sponge stays in one spot and may filter up to 50,000 times its own volume of water every day. Sunn O))) build Alice from long, sustained notes with almost no beat, the sound of something huge pumping slowly in place.
  - **Superpower**: Can filter up to 50,000 times its own volume of seawater every day
- [Sea Lamprey](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/sea-lamprey/) (*Petromyzon marinus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Boris, "Farewell"
  - **Biological Rationale**: A jawless sucker mouth ringed with rasping teeth and a file-like tongue, able to get through a shark's armor of dermal denticles, matching the slow, grinding weight of crushing drone and sludge metal.
  - **Superpower**: A jawless, sucker-like mouth ringed with small, sharp teeth that act as a rasp, plus a file-like tongue
