Get in touch with them:
Notes I took:
- Diminutive production. I couldn’t get past the production to fully ingest the album. Specifically, the overall sound was fuzzy or muddy; one could even call it “garage” like. However, that did give the album a sort of “classic” brutal death metal aura. I could have easily have mistaken this material for any death metal album from 1989; respectively.
- Hoarse vocals. The vocals were throaty, like a mean dry growl. He was not only limited to just the guttural however; he had a really nice throaty high that was a complimentary contrast to his lows. Although, I would have been able to appreciate them better if the vocals themselves didn’t sit weirdly in the mix; it was occasionally drowned out by the other instruments from time to time.
- Out of sync. The beat was hard to pick up on at times. Apart of me felt like perhaps the musicians weren’t all on the same page or something. No matter the case, they did keep the gig going strong and did commit to some grooves and did coincide well during breakdowns.
- Simple slams. The guitars wisely played it safe while having fun with it. I want to note that I thought the mini solos were great. The drums on the other hand were rather tame. I wouldn’t call them absent but they certainly weren’t the center piece of the album. I would like to make an endearing generalization that the guitar and drum were of equal precision and aptitude. It was clear the musicians forged this album with sentiment and taste.
In the end: For being a pint-sized debut EP weighing in at
around 13 minutes, I personally thought it was a work of pride and passion. It
was full of sincere craftsmanship and constructed with outspoken effort. I do
look forward to the next chapter from these guys. I'm in your corner.
