Modern Full-Throttle Heavy Rawk & Metal and bits of Hardcore from mebers of Converge & Cave In. Latch on to this if you dig: High On Fire, Big Business & Melvins. ((((1)))) Slow intro, ((((2)))) then big sound, heavy rawk tune with some good bass/drum interplay. ((((3)))) Big strum into thundering metal with some wailin’ with some catchy choruses Not too suprisingly like Converge crossed with High On Fire. ((((((4))))) Huge opening riff, pick slide and just fackin’ RAWWWWK! (((((5))))) High tone strums, rumbly bass into catchy near poppy hard rawk with a big doomy bit at the end. Like Big Business or later Melvins. ((((6)))) Stretched out slide note for 1:00 (((((7))))) Twangy yet bombastic and anticaptory with a very catchy build up, cyclical riffing, though the Thin Lizzy-ish twin harmonies while good are a little forced. ((((8)))) (FCC “fuckers”, “fucking” 2x both in the first minute) Whole lotta bass, slow, sludgy and mean. (((9))) So-so, mid-paced heavy rawk/metal, melodic & heavy at the same time but just not too compelling. ((((10)))) Psych guitar interlude. (((11))) Jud-jud then more jud-jud and pound-pound and comes out like a more rawk version of a Converge tune. Not bad but again, not super-exciting. (((((12))))) Fast & burly, heavy rawk with big riffs, bass, shouted vocals and twiddlely harmony bits. (13) Flute interlude? Pointless, maaan! (((14)) Then straight up musclely rawk. Not bad but too melodic and nearly slick in the chorus. Might be better live, though. (((((15)))) Fast hardcore with a ton of heavy low end and simple, battering drumming, simple direct chorus. Cool stuff. (((16))) Short guitar interlude of 25 sec. ((((17)))) (FCC “Fucked” sung once) starts like “South of Heaven”-era Slayer then get more modern heavy rawk/metal/hardcore with the usual nearly hoarse vox, dual guitar attack and the occasional solo/wail | ||
