Review:
Seadon of Arrows debut S/T album is a thunderous loud and heavy affair that
will speak volumes to the Sludge/Doom/Stoner Metal community. It has
blazing riffs and superb vocals by the wonderfully named – Stormie
Wakefield. Which is quite apt as Stormie's vocals feel as powerful as a
hurricane or an out of control tornado.
The
album is a fantastic debut album that takes influences from a whole
range of bands but still maintaining their own identity. Season Of
Arrows drifts from Doom, Sludge, Stoner Metal with hints of
Post-Metal riffs shining through from time to time.
If
you're a fan of Kylesa and Dark Castle then check Season Of
Arrows now. For a band only going strong since the start of 2014,
Season Of Arrows sound they have been together for decades as the
chemistry between the band is intense. The dual guitars of Brandon
and David brings a heavy as hell experience that will take a long
time to recover from. Check out the awesome dual guitars on The Loved
One, Soul Of The City and Columns.
Shawn
and Brad prove they can more than match their band-mates on Bass and
Drums respectively. They can be classed as the real heart of the band
providing a thumping rhythm line for the rest of the band to thrive
on. It's good to hear Season Of Arrows not bowing down to the more
famous female driven Occult Rock route that seems have taken over the
world recently. Season Of Arrows are a proper heavy sludge metal band
that makes intelligent and thought provoking music to challenge the
listener with.
Their
debut album is an album of many moods and expertly matches the riffs
to make the listener feel very uncomfortable at times. The album can
feel a bit rushed at times but for a debut album that is a minor
complaint as this album just plain flat out rocks.
Lets
see what Season Of Arrows can do with their second album as they left
me begging for more. Awesome Stuff.
