Heavy, often epic contemporary metal/heavy rawk. Mixing a bunch of stuff from the 90’s to now. Similar to everything from High On Fire to Pelican to Nachmystium & Helmet. Might be a good idea if they cut all the overdone “post-rock” stuff out of each song and stay with just the heavy stuff. Otherwise a pretty good album. (((1))) Circular riffing, nice bass & drum sound but falls flat during the “soaring” bits. (((((2)))). Riffage & raw throat rockin’ + some modern Black Metal-ish fury, too. ((((3)))) Pretty fierce drumming & more BM type riffs mixed with near crust punk vocals. (((4))) Strummy intro leads to fast tempo & tremolo riffs & Matt Pike-like vocals. Not bad but a mostly meh. ((5)) Boring-ass “post-rock” guitar interlude. (((6))) More of the same except it forms an OK heavy rawk/metal tune that meanders for-ever. (((7))) Bassy, circular, Pelican meets Today Is The Day with very mixed results. ((((8)))) There ya go! Slow intro then attacks with a full-on Nachmystium-like BM blaze then riffs outward. (((9))) Slow but steady, in that weird confemporary not totally metal or hardcore yet also not metalcore either thing. (10) Pointless guitar noodling. | ||
