Drunk Dad/Morbid Reality/Eolian Empire/2013 12 Inch Review


  Drunk  Dad  are  a  band  from  Portland,  Oregon  that  plays  a  mixture  of  sludge  and  noise  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  12  inch  "Morbid  Reality"  which  was  released  by  Eolian  Empire.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording,  as  for  the  sound  effects  when t hey  are  utilized  they  bring  elements  of  drone  and  noise  to  the recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  heavy  sludge  metal  and  noise  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean  playing which  brings  in  the  experimental  elements,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  dark  sounding  noise  rock  guitar solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  spoken  word  parts,  clean  singing  to  high  pitched  screams  which  has  a  crust/grind  feeling to them  as  well  as  some  deep  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  dark  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  one  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Drunk  Dad  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  sludge  and  noise  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Guts"  and  "Scum  Fee".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
