TwinGiant are a brilliant Sludge/Stoner Metal band who I have featured a couple of times now on the blog. Their blend of sublime Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs has won them quite a following within the Sludge/Stoner Metal world.
Their debut album was a heavy slab of brilliant Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs. If you’re a fan of The Sword, Mastodon, High On Fire and Sleep then these guys would definitely be on your radar as they were with mine. I reviewed their debut album back in 2012.
Well TwinGiant are back with their rifftastic new EP – Sin Nombre – A 5 track and 27-minute blast of hard-rocking riffs to rock out to. Nothing much has changed from their excellent debut. Just more of the same great TwinGiant magic that made me such a fan of their music in the first place.
Opening track – Pelisneros – will show you TwinGiant mean business from the very start by incorporating a bleak message that sort of reminds me of a bleak 70s war film. An eerie soundclip is matched with hard-hitting vocals and riffs to give this track a rather distinct and dangerous edge.
What follows after this great track is more brilliant Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs to prove that TwinGaint are on top of their game. They prove they are one of the best bands currently out there. Check out excellent tracks – Fossilized, La Haine and Cloked In Black. OK just about every track on the EP.
TwinGiant close the album on a sombre note with a track called Ricky X. A good friend of theirs called Rick Martinez who sadly passed away and one who used to hosted a brilliant radio show. This is a guy I would of loved to have met based mainly on his brilliant list of bands he plays he plays on the show.
It ends the EP on sort of a sad note but what comes before make this EP a triumph of the human condition and human spirit. I applaud TwinGiant for the bleak messages held on the EP. It’s possibly their finest work to date.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
