Review
CXXXVIII
is
the new EP from Mexican Doom/Stoner Metallers Comanchet and it’s
quite a raw sounding EP that’s packed full of heavy doomed out
grooves. Maybe not the best sounding EP you’ll ever here but the
band do create a mighty fine amount of heavy noise.
The
vocals are very honest and have quite a vintage feel to them.
Comanchet take influence from bands such as Black Sabbath, Sleep and
High On Fire. So if you’re a fan of those bands Comanchet should
appeal to you. As the EP has quite a gloomy psychedelic feel to it as
well. The music moves between heavy Doomed Out vibes and trippy
Stoner Metal sounds.
I
can’t comment on the lyrical content as the vocals are sung in the
band’s native language but the vocals are constantly engaging and
matches the heavy music the band create here. Standout songs have to
be Desconocido, Taarna and Aquelarre. As this is where Comanchet
finally start to play their own style of music and leave you wanting
more.
The
band do have an album available on BandCamp that was released back in
2017. That’s definitely worth checking out as well. However it’s
with CXXXVIII that Comanchet prove they’re worth giving a damn
about.
I’m
going to quote my good friend Frazer’s review aka Desert Psychlist to summarize this EP as he’s summoned
this EP brilliantly.
“Music
as good, as exciting and as groovalicious as Comanchet's "CXXXVIII"
cannot be, should not be, held back by borders or fences. Mr Trump
might build a wall to try to stop the Mexican people from crossing
into the USA but music this good will always find its way over.”
Yeah,
I go with that review. Comanchet are definitely worth your time.
