This is a split review of an ep between France's Plebeian Grandstand and Cortez which was released by Throatruiner Records in 2012 and we will start of the review with Plebeian Grandstand a band that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style that mixes sludge, doom, hardcore and grind with some black metal influences.
Drums are all slow playing with no fast drumming or blast beats being present on their side of the recording, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars are all slow riffs that combine sludge, doom, hardcore, black metal and grindcore together to create a sound of their own and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are all high pitched sludge screams that have a depressive black metal edge to them, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with the song being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great song from Plebeian Grandstand and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Cortez a band that combines noisecore with hardcore.
Drums range from slow to mid paced playing with no fast drumming or blast beats being present on their side of the recording, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffs that combine noisecore, post hardcore and sludge together to create a sound of their own and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are all high pitched noisecore themes, while the song lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound to it with their song being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Cortez are a very great sounding hybrid of sludge, noisecore and post hardcore and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion i feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of sludge and noisecore. RECOMMENDED BUY.
