Review:
Bournemouth's
finest purveyors of Sludge/Doom Metal riffsters – GREENHORN are
back with their stunning new EP – Doom Hawk. I featured these guys
back in 2013 when I featured their debut EP – The Plague Doctor's
Mask. Now Greenhorn are back with Doom Hawk.
A
20 minute EP spread along 5 tracks filled with filth ridden and anger
filled Doom/Sludge Metal riffs waiting to fuck up your entire world.
Though Greenhorn are different from your usual Doom/Sludge Metal
bands. As they guys have a killer sense of humour to their music to
show that they know how to have fun with their music as well. Though
you may not think of this when listening to the brutal onslaught of
riffs the band have in store for you.
Need
more evidence. OK first track – Horse Cock – Yeah a Sludge/Doom
Metal track called Horse Cock. But it's the music where it matters
most and Greenhorn have delivered 3:36 minutes of heavy punishing
riffs that pays homage to bands such as Grief, Iron Monkey and
EyeHateGod though done in Greenhorn's immaculate Doom Metal style.
The vocals are full of anger through out and it gives Greenhorn a
violent edge compared against their British friends and rivals of the
Doom Metal scene.
2nd
track – Enemies – carries on the devastating mixture of harsh
vocals and riffs laid down previously though the band add elements of
groove to this track and it makes it one of the EP's standout tracks.
Play this one nice and loud as your speakers deserve it. Even playing
this track at full blast and pissing off your neighbours deserve to
hear the devastating riffs that Greenhorn have laid down here.
3rd
Track – Driven Like A Cunt – has a violent blues based riff that
sounds something like Church Of Misery would be proud to call their
own. Though it's the dangerous vocals that make Greenhorn sound like
a bunch of violent cunts on the rampage. No offence guys. But this is
brutal with a capital FUCKING BRUTAL. The heavy pounding bass is the
main driving force here with the drums and guitars slowly hiding in
the background.
Now
we come to the EP's main even. The epic 4th
track – Kingdom By The Sea – which is worth the purchase of the
EP alone. As it's a blistering 7:06 minute epic which shows what
Greenhorn is all about. Slow-paced riffs which builds up the tension
with each passing second with Greenhorn laying down some superb clean
based vocals. This track is all about mood and the mood is DOOM!!! -
Just embrace the carnage that Greenhorn are laying down for you here.
It's an epic journey you won't easily forget.
The
last track – Binoculars – only last for 6 seconds. What the fuck
guys. I was just starting to get into the mood for some more heavy
doom based riffs and you end this superb EP with a 6 second EP. Maybe
a fuck you from the guys and their twisted sense of humour saying –
Until Next Time Bitches!!!
Well
Greenhorn have got my appetite well and truly destroyed. I want to
hear more riffs you heartless bastards. Anyway joking aside. Doom
Hawk is a brilliant EP. It really is. It proves that Greenhorn have
the potential to be one of the UK's best and loudest Doom/Sludge
Metal bands when they release their full length record.
Awesome. End Of.
Doom Hawk will be
available to buy soon. Thanks to the guys for sending me a promo to
review.
