Review:
Grizzlor
are the kind of band that are here to fuck shit up!!!
There's nothing sophisticated about their blend of Thrash/Punk driven Sludge Metal which has seen the guys inject a welcome does of black humour into their music. Their new EP – Cycloptic – is a violent blast from start to finish. Unapologetic in tone and nature these guys blast their way through a ton of heavy grizzled sludge vibes with Victor's pissed off vocals.
There's
no point doing a song by song review as these guys write songs that
live and die by the old classic punk way. Fast paced riffs all
delivered under 2 mins which allows the band to show off their
musical skills. Yeah it's down-right ugly at times but you can't deny
how catchy their songs can be especially on War Machine and Starship
Mother Shit. Lyrical geniuses they ain't but they can write a true
sludge-punk-metal fest that will get all metalheads jumping along in
the moshpit.
The
best way I can describe Grizzlor as if The Melvins and The Sex
Pistols having a pissing contest in who can play the loudest,
disgusting and filthiest riffs. Insane description, I know but it's
the best way I can describe them. It's loud, violent and filthy fun
that's all over in 10 mins or so. The production is actually good for
the type of band Grizzlor actually are. They don't fuck about but
they do have a sense of rebellious fun that you can't deny.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
