Elder Devil are a band from California that plays a mixture of grindcore, crust and sludge metal and this is a review of their 2017 ep "Graves Among The Roots" which will be released on July 28th by Medusa Crush Recordings.
Distorted amp sounds start off the ep along with some drum beats a few seconds alter as well as some powerful sounding bass guitars and after awhile angry shouting vocals are added onto the recording which also leads up to a heavier sludge metal musical direction and a great portion of the tracks are short in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of grindcore elements and blast beats can be heard along with some crust influences and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the vocals after awhile evolve more into screams while some of the riffs also bring in a small amount of melody and the music always remains heavy and brutal.
Elder Devil plays a musical style that takes grindcore, punk and sludge metal and mixes them together to create a brutal recording, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and violent themes.
In my opinion Elder Devil are a very great sounding mixture of grindcore, crust and sludge and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Collected" and "Needless". 8 out of 10.
