Meris
is a quartet from the San Francisco Bay Area. I haven’t heard
what their first demo sounded like but this would be a good start
for a band to get signed. The Meris “2004 Demo” has three
tracks of hard rock/metal for almost fourteen minutes. I don’t
know if they consider themselves metal or not but its at least hard
rock with some metal techniques. Think Alice In Chains, Tool, Chevelle,
Nirvana, Korn, System of a Down, and Metallica. It sounds pretty good
even though they sound like a young band. The music is straightforward
and not too complex and the songs are written well enough to entice
you throughout the disc. Most riffs are generally catchy. Nothing
is exceptional but everything is better than mediocre. Each song has
its own glory moments and their own feel. I’d like to hear more
of Meris to get more of an idea what they can create. Rating: 75 |
