 
Where The Skeletons Play are a talented duo from
Bristol who sound like the bastard love child
of the Deftones and Tool and they are set to release
their brand new six track EP ‘Serotonin
Blueprints’ on the 27th May.
The EP opens with ‘Perspex Queen’
an song which opens with ambient sounds which
become bigger and heavier as the song progresses,
vocally the song is very dreamy sounding and also
quite chilling in places as you really have to
concentrate to stitches vocals, as the song reaches
the final minute everything explodes in a Deftones
style build up as the instrumental work gets louder
and Stitch screeches loudly with his distorted
vocals.
‘Punctuate The Sky’ is another progressive
masterpiece as Bones lays down some outstanding
instrumental work as Stitch once again lets his
vocals flow in such an freaky distorted way, and
just like the opening track the climax of the
song is the stand out part as everything comes
to life in a forceful fashion.
‘Serotonin Blueprints’ really is a
solid sounding EP, however it is one of those
EP’s that you need to spend a lot of time
with and listen to a few times before you really
start to feel the talent that Where The Skeletons
Play have to offer, songs like the dreamy ‘Serendipity’
and the heavily distorted ‘... Your Innocence
Exists’ are a pleasure to listen to but
it is the EP title track ‘Serotonin Blueprints’
where they band really lay the smack down with
their heavy progressive sounds.
If you are a fan of Nine Inch Nails, Tool and
the Deftones then you really need to give Where
The Skeletons Play a listen as it is not every
day that you hear a talented duo creating the
sounds that normally a four or five piece band
would be unleashing.
4/5
