The Panther Caps are a solo project from Alaska that plays a psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, stoner, doom metal and hardcore and this is a review of his 2025 album "Rises Again" which was released by The Swamp Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Elements of sludge, stoner and doom metal are also added into t he slower sections of the songs along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
A lot of the music is also very heavily influenced by the 70's era mixed in with some psychedelic touches while also sounding very modern at the same time. A lot of the mid tempo sections of the album also add in touches of hardcore along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clear singing as well as the vocals also mixing in a lot of shouts, some of the tracks are also very short in length.
The Panther Caps plays a musical style that takes black, sludge, stoner, psychedelic doom metal and hardcore and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Horror themes.
In my opinion The Panther Caps is a very great sounding psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, stoner, doom metal and hardcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rises Again" "Satanic Sanctuary" "Kudzu Graveyard" and "Burnt Blood". 8 out of 10.
