Barren Waste/Divine Intervention/2011 EP Review


  Barren  Waste  are  a  band  from  New  Hampshire  that  plays  a  mixture  of  black  metal,  sludge,  grindcore  and  hardcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2011  ep  "Divine  Intervention".

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  bringing thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  black  metal  with  sludge,  grindcore  and  hardcore  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  old  school  sounding  hardcore  punk  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  hardcore  shouts,  grindcore  growls  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  parts  on  the  last  song,  while the  lyrics  cover  hateful  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  heavy,  raw and  primitive  sound  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  the  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Barren  Waste  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  black  metal,  grind,  crust  and  hardcore  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  style,  you  should c heck  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Dominant  Hand"  and  "Collection  Codes".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
