The Review:
Old Hope
follow up
their 2015 demo with an incredibly raw and filthy new EP. In an era where many
bands aim for sterile and polished productions, it is nice to see a bands like Old Hope do something more honest. “Held in a Twisted Cell” has a “recorded
in a cave” quality akin to early High on Fire era
records.
The
EP opens with “Seeds of Revenge”. This
songs have a “Blessed Black Wings” feel to it, and yet takes many
unexpected turns and twists. The shear intensity and power of the riffs
in this track would make Matt Pike himself proud. The EP ends with an
extremely and doomy turn with “Capitulated
Loss”. An extremely slow plodding doom track reminiscent of Toronto
Contemporaries Demonic Possessor. For anyone who
misses dirty sounding sludge records, this EP is for you

In A Twisted Cell” is available here
