 
Sirens are a sextet from Brimingham who formed
back in 2012 quickly went on to release their
debut EP for free before heading out on the road
playing as many shows as they could which included
supporting the likes of Bam Margera, Heights,
Devil Sold His Sole, We Butter Bread With Butter,
Palm Reader, Dead Hearts, While She Sleeps and
many other bands.
For the past year Sirens have been pretty quiet
on the live front as they have been busy in the
studio laying down all their skills and everything
they have on their new EP ‘Resistant To
Change | Destined To Fail’[ and after listening
to the EP it seems like their time away from the
live circuit and quality band and studio time
has seriously paid off for Sirens as ‘Resistant
To Change | Destined To Fail’ is one hell
of a brutal album which is going to give your
ears a pounding yet leave you smiling from ear
to ear.
The EP opens with the lead track ‘Notches’
which opens with some space age soundscapes before
mayhem erupts on your ears as the lead vocals
come in at what feels like 100miles per hour with
a lot of pent up anger being unleashed and within
seconds the rest of the band join force with chugging
guitar riffs, beastly drum beats as the band unleash
a whirlwind of sound for the best part of 3minutes
and 30seconds.
The opening vocals and growls on ‘No Nature
Of Mine’ are fantastic and the aggression
is kept up for pretty much the duration of the
song apart from a few break downs. ‘Creature’
is the latest single to be taken from the EP and
it is clear to see why as the bands aggression
is still there but they head down a melodic route
for the best part of the song and it works really
well, especially alongside the electronics and
top instrumental work.
‘The Void’ see’s the band go
down an experimental route with a mad flurry of
soundscapes gracing the airwaves with a big retro
feel and this is something that the band manage
to keep up for the majority of the song with no
aggression and minimum vocals in place.
‘True Colours’ is Sirens at their
best as they let rip with aggressive sounds showing
off their heaviest side whilst things go down
the melodic route towards the later part of the
song. ‘Bad Blood’ is equally aggressive
and the machine gun style riffage and pounding
drum beats at the start of the song is fantastic
and not to forget the extreme growls and screams
with dominate the song for the majority.
Things come to an end with ‘Bridge To Burden’
a song which see’s Sirens just show how
fast paced and energetic they can be whilst letting
off enough aggression to make this a fist pumping
mosh pit anthem which is going to go down a storm
on the live circuit.
If you are after aggressive sounds which have
a slight experimental feel to them then look no
further than ‘Resistant To Change | Destined
To Fail’ by Sirens.
4/5
