Review
Enhailer's
new EP – Dumb Enough To Care – is 18:23 minutes of bleak
Progressive Stoner/Doom Metal. I haven't heard of these guys before
and their latest release impressed me from the very first listen. The
band create an epic and distorted style of Psychedelic Doom/Stoner
Metal that offers a bleak atmosphere from the very start.
The
pissed off vocals just add to the heavy and furious atmosphere that
Enhailer expertly create. Taking influence from bands such as
Mastodon, Neurosis, Bongripper and even Pelican at times but with a
more Doomed Out Stoner Metal sound holding everything together.
Dumb
Enough To Care is superbly played throughout with the band creating a
nightmarish world of different sounds and textures. The soundclips
spliced throughout the EP have been strategically placed to amp up
the gloomy atmospherics of the entire record. Though the standout
parts of the EP appear towards the end when Enhailer ditch the
Doom/Gloom theatrics for a more focused Progressive Stoner Metal
sound.
I
maybe Dumb Enough To Care but not dumb enough to recognise a band who
have the potential to release something more substantial in the
future and perhaps a full length album.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
