Apes are a band from Quebec, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black, sludge metal, grind and hardcore and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Lullabies For Eternal Sleep" which was released by Translation Loss Records.
Harsh noises start off the ep before going into a very fast and brutal grindcore direction which also adds in a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly done in a growling or shouting style along with some screams while the tremolo picking also adds in elements of black metal and the slower sections of the songs show an influence of sludge metal.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffing also has its dissonant and melodic moments. The mid tempo sections also show an influence of hardcore along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Apes takes black, sludge metal, grind, hardcore and noise and mix them together to create a very aggressive sounding recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nihilistic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Apes and if you are a fan of black, sludge metal, grind, hardcore and noise, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cornwall" and "Sore". 8 out of 10.
