Lifetaker are a band from Germany that plays a mixture of harcore, black and sludge metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Herbsthunde" which will be released in May by Van Records.
A very dark and heavy sludge metal sound starts off the ep while noises can also be heard in the background. Vocals also add in a lot of angry hardcore style shouts as well as adding in some black metal screams and clear singing at times along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of distorted melodies
The recording also has its experimental moments while the songs also add in a lot of dissonant touches. Programmed beats are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and all of the tracks stick to a slower direction, spoken word samples are also briefly.
Lifetaker plays a musical style that takes hardcore, noise rock, dissonant black and sludge metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover awareness and self-reflection themes.
In my opinion Lifetaker are a very great sounding mixture of hardcore, black and sludge metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUD "Totsignal" and "Maschinesturm". 8 out of 10.
