Cokegoat are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plays a very heavy form of sludge/doom metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "Vessel" which will be released by The Path Less Traveled Records.
The album starts out with a very heavy and aggressive thrash sound along with some aggressive hardcore/sludge style screams and after awhile the music starts adding in hardcore and doom metal elements along with some melody as well as bringing in atmospheric sounds which also leads up to death metal growls becoming a part of the recording.
As the album progresses you can hear traces of stoner rock being added into certain sections of the music and at times you can hear small amounts of clean singing and psych sounds along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and after awhile acoustic guitars are brought in at time s which gives the music a more classic rock feeling and there are also guitar solos and leads being utilized at times.
When we get more into the album the music speeds up a bit and you can hear a good amount of black metal influences and blast beats along with harsh noise sounds being used briefly before making a return to the sludge/doom metal sound and on a couple of the tracks melodic female vocals are added into the music.
Cokegoat display a good amount of diversity with their music with their ability to wrote some slow, dark and heavy sludge metal songs that also contain a good amount of melody while also not being afraid to add in hardcore, stoner, psych and noise sound s to create a very original sounding recording.
Song lyrics cover dark themes, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy, dark and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Cokegoat are a very great sounding sludge/doom metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fear the Followers" "Dogs" "Fly by Daylight" and "Glorious Dead". 8 out of 10.
