Review
Hollowed Eyes is the latest song from Doom/Stoner Metallers Rattlesnake Venom Trip from their forthcoming new EP - Eclipse The Sun. This is the band’s first new song in over three years and it’s an absolute blast fusing Doom, Stoner Metal, Thrash, Psych, Fuzz and Vintage Heavy Metal. The song is catchy, aggressive, fast-paced and pissed off as hell. Taking cues from the likes of Mastodon, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Motorhead, High On Fire and even KVELERTAK, the song is quite progressive compared to the band’s previous record Dead Empire released way back in 2022.
There’s a destructive and apocalyptic vision that’s captured within the lyrics and delivered with real conviction by the superb vocals from Kevin Schindel who also plays guitar within the band. The rest of the band provide real menacing grooves that have a modern day feel to it whilst having a classic old school quality which captures the zeitgeist of the Nineties Rock/Metal scene down to a fine art.
I’ve had the pleasure to listen to the whole of the new EP Eclipse The Sun in full and the other tracks that make up the EP are equally as good as this track and in some cases even better. This is perhaps the most riff driven track off the EP which shows you what to expect for its upcoming release early next year. Until then, enjoy some of the finest and catchiest five and half minutes of your life right now!!!
