The year 2000 saw the conception of the band
Jaw. You could
call them hardcore, thrash, rock, but they are really a collaboration
of all three. They remind me a little of Kittie but more reminiscent
of the little known band H8 Machine. Parts might even make you call
it psychedelic thrashcore especially when different effects are applied
to their songs. For the most part the CD is heavy and intense, and
the mellow or peaceful riffs are used to show the contrast they can
create. It’s of the verge of being very dynamic...vocals included.
The scream vocals remind me of Macabre and when mixed with down tuned
guitars it creates a violent resonance compared to the Anathema or
Radiohead like calm voice and tranquil melodies. When he shouts you
could say it has a little of John Tardy in his voice too, but it’s
not really death oriented. The four songs on five tracks are over
eighteen minutes of mostly nasty, heavy, riffs that make you want
to be in a mosh pit. Nothing is bad on this disc, just different,
which might take some time to get into. Rating: 74 |
