Guillotine are a band from Georgia that plays a mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their self titled and self released 2017 album.
A very heavy groove metal orientated sound starts off the album along with some grim black metal screams a few seconds later while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and after awhile death metal growls also start to make their presence known.
A small amount of melody can also be heard in the guitar riffing at times and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard while the slower sections of the songs are very heavily influenced by doom and sludge metal along with some of the tracks being very long and epic in length as well as the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the album progresses a brief use of melodic guitar leads can be heard and the music always remains heavy.
Guillotine plays a musical style that takes black, doom, southern style sludge and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover time travel, ancient aliens, inter dimensional vampire gods and conspiracy theory themes.
In my opinion Guillotine are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Emperor" "Save The Drill" and "Not Worth Saving". 8 out of 10.
