Buzzherd are a band from Pennsylvania that plays a mixture of sludge and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "On Sinking Ships...Rats Down" which was released by Dullest Records.
The albums tarts out with dark and heavy sounding guitar riffs and drums as well as bringing in aggressive sounding sludge style screams and the music also brings in elements of doom metal as well as bringing in some distorted guitar leads and thrash influences before adding in psychedelic elements and powerful sounding bass guitars.
As the album moves on 70's influences get more dominant and mix in with the more modern and heavy aspects of the record and the vocals start adding in death metal elements and it also starts speeding up during certain sections of the recording and the album also starts bringing in some of the more extreme and underground parts of 80's metal and mixes it in with 90's style sludge and doom metal to create their own sound as well as having stoner and psychedelic rock tinges underneath all of the heaviness and towards the end hardcore and punk influences are added into the music.
Song lyrics cover paranoia and dysentery themes, while the production has a very strong, powerful, dark, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording as well as some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Buzzherd are a very great sounding mixture of sludge, doom metal and thrash and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Abuse of Despair" "Stakes And Snares" and "Six Pack" which is a Black Flag cover. RECOMMENDED BUY.
