Timeworn are a band from Norway that plays a mixture of post hardcore, sludge, metal and punk and this is a review of their 2014 album "Luminescent Wake" which was released by Disciplin Media.
A very dark sound with clean playing starts off the album and after a couple of minutes the music goes into a heavier direction along with some aggressive vocals and growls that bring in a death metal influence to the bands musical style and the melodies and guitar leads the band uses bring in a post hardcore feeling to the recording.
The guitar riffing can be very melodic at times while the heavier parts bring in a heavy sludge and doom metal influence and after awhile there is a good mixture of both clean and heavy parts being present throughout the recording and on the later tracks the music starts to speed up at times and brings in more of an aggressive hardcore punk feeling.
There is a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts present throughout the recording and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them along with a few of the tracks being very long and epic in length and on some of their faster material you can hear a good amount of d beat influences.
Timeworn plays a style of music that takes the heaviness of sludge and death metal and mixes it in with the darkness and melody of post hardcore and the energy of punk rock to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and occult themes.
In my opinion Timeworn are a very great sounding mixture of sludge metal, post hardcore and punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Fire Warning" "Shokoti" "The oncoming End" and "Cellular Dissidence". 8 out of 10.
