Review:
Oslo
mob Sibiir deal in bleak metallic hardcore with a furious approach to
their music. This is aural battery with raw and pissed off vocals
over the top of sheet metal riffs and pounding drums.
The
pummeling title track kicks off this two tracker with its swirling
hardcore meets black metal riffs, rhythmic drum tattoo and vocalist
Jimmy Nyomens anguished howls colliding together with each other that
results in a desolate soundscape with Nyomens shouts of "Washing
away all my demons" an echo of the chaos and pain contained
within the music.
The
band follow this up with These Rats We Deny, a punishing workout that
ups the chaos contained in Swallow & Trap Them, with even more
metallic riffs being cranked out over a disciplined backbeat that
reaches an epic crescendo at the end of the track.
Sibiir
have a winning formula here with the volition of those blacker than
black riffs and their furious hardcore anger with the only problem
with Swallow & Trap Them is that is only two tracks but this only
whets the listeners appetite for a full length album.
