Review:
Tombstone
Crow are a Progressive Metal/Groove Metal band from my home town of
Newcastle Upon Tyne. They are a hotly tipped local band who are about
to release their debut album – Shadows From The Grave. A storming
slab of furious riffs if your a fan of Pantera, Black Label Society,
Metallica and bands of that ilk. Though Tombstone Crow are forging
their own identity with their intense blend of self proclaimed
Geordie Metal.
The
album is a bruising encounter with lead vocalist – Debi – on fire
through out. To tell you the truth I thought Tombstone Crew's
vocalist was a dude. As Debi has an impressive vocal range which she
blasts out right from the start. Tracks such as Soul Of A Sinner
and Hangin Tree show a band not afraid to mix their different style
of music. Doom Metal, Groove Metal and Progressive Metal combine for
an album so action packed you're never bored for a second. All the
band members are seasoned veterans from the local hard rock/metal
scene and they have been apart of some fantastic acts over the years.
Though Tombstone Crow is where everything falls into place for the
band to start gaining some national attention.
The
album production can be bit under-produced at times but it counts
where it matters most – The hard-rocking and high voltage based
riffs which the album has in spades. It's been a long time since I
have listened to a proper balls-to-the-wall metal album such as this
and boy was I impressed. It's not going to change the musical
landscape but when the music is this good, who the fuck cares.
One
of the albums standout tracks – The March of Betrayal – has an
edgy violent vibe running through out it's 6 minute run time with
Debi unleashing impressive vocals once again. Tombstone Crow unleash
their progressive fury onto the world as they decide to turn things
on their head a bit with different styles of riffs being played at a
100mph.
Shadows
From The Grave is a highly impressive debut album from Tombstone
Crow. If you're a fan of old-school metal given a 21st
century makeover then this is the album for you. Tombstone Crow have
got my attention.
Roll on album No 2. Awesome
Stuff.
Shadow
From The Grave will be available to buy from BandCamp on August 19th
2014. Thanks to the band for sending me a promo to review.
