Sloth Herder/Abandon Pop Sensibility/2012 EP Review


  Sloth  Herder  are  a  band  from  Maryland  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with  a  musical style  that  mixes  black  metal,  thrash,  grindcore  and  sludge  together  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2012  ep  "Abandon  Pop  Sensibility".

  Drums range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  black  metal,  grindcore,  thrash  and  sludge  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  to  deep  grindcore  growls  and  shouts,  while  the  lyrics  cover  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  while  you  can s till  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Sloth  Herder  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  check  out  this  e.p.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Cowards  Of  The  New  Age"  and  "Dug  Up".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
