For a debut EP ‘Chemicals’ is a really
good effort, the first thing that will draw you
into the band is Ozzy Hamid’s unique sounding
melodic vocals that flow really freely and fast,
he has a way of singing that you can’t help
but love, you will then find yourself checking out
the bands powerfully guitar riffs especially during
the more instrumental break down parts of their
songs as that’s when Lee Taylor goes all out
on guitar.
The EP starts with ‘My Last Regret’
the song is a very strong sounding opening track,
it starts with a good 25second instrumental introduction
where there is a mad flurry of chunky guitar riffs,
blasting drum beats and big basslines, Ozzy’s
vocals come in just after 25 seconds and that’s
when the song goes on a melodic ride with Ozzy’s
vocal harmonies driving the song throughout, as
mentioned above the guitar work is fantastic and
in places gets very hectic along with the at time’s
machine gun style drumming.
‘Cut Me Up’ is another melodic sounding
song, but this time around the song is crammed
with various different electronic soundscapes,
but once again it is Ozzy’s outstanding
vocals that brings melody and style to the song,
the song runs so smoothly and is so hard not to
enjoy.
The EP title track ‘Chemicals’ starts
off sounding a bit more aggressive than the other
tracks on the EP with a couple of massive drums
beats and a chunky guitar intro, but it doesn’t
take long for the song to take the same melodic
smooth flowing route as the other songs on the
EP, but what does make this song that little bit
different is that it features many instrumental
break downs and also features a set of group vocals
chanting “Go, Go”.
The EP finishes with ‘Count Backwards From
Ten’, the song opens in an epic way with
a spacey sounding electronic introduction, Ozzy’s
vocals come in a good 50 seconds down the line
and this time around they sound a lot more mellow
running nicely alongside the spacey soundscapes,
but as soon as Tom’s drum beats and Lee’s
guitar riffs come in Ozzy’s vocals pick
up but fail to reach the melodic peak on the rest
of the tracks. ‘Count Backwards From Ten’
is defiantly the most experimental track on the
EP, it works well but it is nowhere near one of
the strongest tracks these guys have to offer
here.
I really like the sound of We Are The End and
it’s interesting to know that a few members
of the old alt-rock band Hollywood Ending are
part of We Are The End, We Are The End are defiantly
a band worth watching as they have potential.
4/5
