Whisper In The Riot are a band who formed back in
2006 but it was actually during 2007 that the band
went through a slight line up change and started
to get serious about the band and being in the music
industry, ever since this they have been working
hard trying to make an name for themselves, and
they are currently dominating the underground metal
scene.
The band have just released their self titled
new EP which features just 4 tracks and the tracks
are of an high quality with the EP running for
just under 20minutes.
If you want to listen to an new band that is
loud, heavy, unpredictable and have an singer
with a really distinctive voice then Whisper In
The Riot might be the band that you have been
looking for, the opening track ‘Just A Lie’
opens the EP in style with a minute long soundscape
style introduction before the guitars come in
blasting at you at 100 miles per hour with Charlie’s
very distinctive vocals coming in seconds later,
Charlie does well here with his lead vocals and
Andy adds variety to the song with his short shout
and scream backing vocals.
‘The Spoiler’ starts off with a mix
of big arse drum rolls and meaty electronic sounding
guitar riffs, Charlie’s vocals come in sounding
quite soft, but when the song really gets going
in the middle things get turned up a notch or
two in sound with marching band style drum beats,
thick as fuck guitar riffs and really heavy screams
and growls really helping to bring the song to
life.
The most melodic and catchy song on the EP is
‘Wolface’ it has one of those beautiful
not so heavy sing along chorus in the style of
the kind of choruses that Killswitch Engage are
forever knocking out, ok its not as good as Killswitch
Engage but it’s a proper good effort and
makes for a real listenable classic song, with
bouncy basslines coming and going throughout.
The heaviest song on the EP is the last track
‘Culling the Herd’ just check out
the screams and instrumental work towards the
middle of the song, it all proper kicks off about
1minute and 40 seconds into the song and is bloody
amazing.
The only downside of the EP that I can see is
the production, it doesn’t sound that professionally
made, it sounds very tinny in places and certain
things sound louder than others which makes the
overall songs sound unfinished, but if you do
your best to ignore this hitch then you will find
Whisper In The Riot a really enjoyable band, they
certainly have some good ideas and bring something
fresh and exciting to the metal scene.
3.5/5
