review: [Evertrapped]

[Evertrapped]

The Last Extinction

Self-Release

22 May 2020

The Canadian band needs very little time to demonstrate their interpretation of melodic extreme metal. Unlike the polished styles of the subgenre, this is a bit nastier, more rambunctious, with a certain groove/thrash anger. It is melodic extreme metal but with a grimy, dirty street anger or toughness. The album lasts over 57 minutes. Plenty of time to show their various shades; the melodic side in some of the soloing and some of the riffing; sometimes the European-style melodies do come out and shine. Some of the riffing has an aggressive thrash feel, and it makes one wonder whether thrash fans wouldn’t enjoy the galloping guitar, while at other times the band depends on groove, chugging and low string plucking. The potential customer should make sure to check out a couple of tracks before purchasing to make a decision about how to feel about the vocals. The growl-scream is loud, aggressive, harsh and stands out and for that reason some people will really dig it, but it’s bound to be distracting for some listeners. It may be that the extreme vocals are too high in the mix, almost like the vocalist is shouting right in your ear. Therefore, be sure to notice how you feel about the extreme vocals. The melodic vocals are, of course, a lot easier on the ears, and are a big contrast, and for that reason make the vocal combinations rather interesting.
