Dead/Idiots/Eolian Empire/2013 CD Review


  Dead  are  a  duo  from  Australia  that  plays  a  mixture  of  metal,  noise  rock,  experimental  and  punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Idiots"  which  was  released  by  Eolian  Empire.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  drumming  with  no  fast  playing  or  blast  beats  being  present  on  this  recording,  while  the  sound  effects  bring  in  experimental  and  avant  garde  elements,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  which  is  as  powerful  as  a  regular  guitar  which  is  absent  from  this  recording  and  it  takes  over  as  the  lead  instrument  along  with  some  bass  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  aggressive  style  shouts  and  screams  to  clean  singing  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  female  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark,  violent  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on t his  recording  with  the  last  song  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Dead  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  metal,  noise  rock,  experimental  and  punk  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Carcass  Is  Dry"  "Murder  Hollow"  and  "Inherit  The  Wind".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
