This is a review of a split ep between Washington D.C's Vestiges and Australia's Caulfield which was released by Replenish Records in 2012 and we will start of the review with Vestiges a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays post black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast playing with some blast beats being present on this song, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast post black metal riffs that use some raw and primitive elements as well as some clean playing, melody, doom and crust influences in the song and there are no guitar solos or leads present on t heir side of the recording.
Vocals range from deep growls to high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, and heavy sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their song.
In my opinion this is another great sound from Vestiges and if you are a fan of post black metal, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Caulfield a band that plays post hardcore.
Drums range from slow to mid paced playing with no fast drumming or blast beats being present on their song, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffs that combine sludge, doom metal and post hardcore together to create a sound of t heir own and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are all deep death/doom metal growls, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for t he production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and dark sound and you can hear all of t he musical instruments that are present on t heir side of the recording.
In my opinion Caulfield are a very great sounding hybrid of post hardcore, doom and sludge and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out t his b and. RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel t his is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of black metal, post hardcore, doom and sludge, you should add this split to your collection. RECOMMENDED BUY.
