Lost
Track/xPortraitx- s/t EP review
This seems to be a sonic blend of
modern day hardcore and 2000s metalcore/crossover, and vocally, and it’s a mix
of screechy emotional hardcore and the softer side of this aforementioned
metalcore. The music is definitely some
kind of hardcore, and it’s alright; it’s got some teeth, some speed, some
energy to it. The vocals, however, are a
completely different story. The
asymmetric patterns of the lyrics are interesting, but ultimately make the music
harder to remember at times. The vocals
are… odd. It seems like the vocalist is
a normally low-pitched person trying to sing a higher-pitched tone, and it
comes off as REALLY FUCKING SCREECHY.
It’s almost reminiscent of the music I used to poke fun at in the
Punkcore days of mohawks, studs and spikes, and a complete lack of
understanding old Oi! music. I feel like
a lower-pitched tone of voice might seem less like nails on a chalkboard and
more of a fitting sound for the band.
Music: Alright. Vocals:
Need work/to be reworked. Let’s
see what else they can do for the future- there’s potential here, but it’s a
few steps away.
