When I first put on ‘Bound By Apathy’
from What The Night Brings I had no idea what
to expect but seconds into the opening track ‘Barren’
I instantly knew that the next 18minutes were
going to be full on in my ears noise and that
was exactly what it was.
Fans of the hardcore scene are going to instantly
lap up the opening track ‘Barren’
as it is hectic for pretty much 4 minutes and
it does feature a wide variety of hectic instrumental
work throughout and not to forget the ball breaking
lead growls from front man Adrian.
‘Deus Ex-Machina’ is yet another beastly
song and is going to see the pit kick off big
time at the bands future shows as it is the perfect
pit anthem with extremely chunky guitar riffs,
machine gun style drumming and vocals so big strong
and harsh that the massive mix of sounds will
have you jumping from the floor to the ceiling
and battling anything in your way with excitement.
‘The March That Makes A Man’ is another
hard hitting song and my god instrumentally this
song is something special but it is the machine
gun style drumming which stand out the most and
provide the biggest impact throughout the song,
the breakdown towards the middle part of the song
is well arranged and the group growls are also
a welcome addition.
The EP closes with ‘Front Towards Enemy’
and it starts off in the same fashion as all the
other songs on the EP with a massive hard hitting
sound but as the song progresses we get introduced
to some slow break downs before things pick up
again for a good minute of final grows and instrumental
abuse.
Overall What The Night Brings sound like the bastard
love child of Protest The Hero and the Architects
as the band are influenced by both bands and it
is clearly noticed within their music, if you
are a lover of the hardcore scene or have heard
the debut release from these guys then this will
defiantly be for you , if on the other hand you
are not a big hardcore fan and have never heard
of these guys give the opening track ‘Barren’
a listen and your mind will be made up on these
guys instantly.
3/5
