Wilt-
Your Will Has Been Broken review
Rising from the ashes of Asymmetric
Warfare, Wilt is a similarly styled crust band incorporating elements of
metalcore, grindcore, and Tragi-core (that is, the melodic D-beat popularized
by Tragedy). Still keeping the personal/
political teeth of the lyrics, the band seems to have retained a core sound
(haha, get it? Core?) akin to A//W, and
only changed members and wrote brand new songs, which I like better. Vocals are hoarse, sub-guttural styled
singing, occasionally switching to a higher-pitched growl; guitars are melodic
crust with a heavy metallic edge; the drums are pummeling, heavy, and vary in
beat from mid-tempo to an almost DRI-like speed (first album, not the metal
ones); the bass compliments the guitars very well on the low end, an
interesting turn for punk rock bass.
Though one might at first think, “Oh god, another death metal band with
cookie monster vocals,” or “Shit, another Tragedy worship band”, think again. It has definitely worked from the Tragedy
blueprint, but adds a few things to make the music more unique and worth the
time. Time for an EP with a professional
mixer- these guys have the songs right here, but better sound quality might
arise from an experienced engineer.
Anyone who likes crust will probably like this- I can dig it.
