Bio:
WALL are creating
paradoxes since 2008. Minimal pop songs at Maximum volume. Heavy low
ends without the angry attitude and muscle flexing. Inspired by
almost everything from the mamas and papas to early swans. Constantly
changing equipment and attitude so it is safe to say that no one in
the band knows what it is exactly they are doing. Hopefully even with
Mark E Smith on bongos it will sound like WALL.
Review:
Doom/Sludge/Pop
Rockers – WALL – are back with a blistering new EP –
Wastelands/Warfields. And it's a stunning array of high octane Sugary
Pop Coated Doom/Sludge Metal riffs. I'm a huge fan of these guys who
made a big impression on me back in 2013 with their S/T release.
If
you're a fan of FLOOR and Torche then WALL is the band for you. This
EP sees WALL in loud volatile mood with the band playing fast-paced
Sludge/Doom Pop music. Opening track – Wastelands – has
bone-crunching and heavy down-tuned guitars with lead vocalist –
Sascha – providing sublime vocals packed full of passion and
demented fun especially towards the end when the mood takes a
sinister turn.
Second
track – Warfields is classic WALL through and through. Heavy
melodies with a great singalong chorus though with a slight Punk-Rock
swagger. WALL return to the normal sound of down-tuned sludgy guitars
with Sascha once again on fine form singing his heart out. WALL have
offered a brief glimpse of their new sound on the EP and if this is
the way WALL are going on their next album, then WALL may have
something special for us to experience.
Just
do yourself a favour and download this brilliant EP now as it's
available for free download. If you like what you hear check out
their 2013 debut album as it's a favourite of ours at Sludgelord HQ.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
