Specialists/collaborators reviews

Warthur
Giant Squid's Cenotes presents five compositions which haver on the borderline between sludge metal and post-metal, with Jackie Perez Gratz on cello adding an intriguing texture to the material. The introduction to the first track, Tongue Stones, has an almost gothic quality to it, presenting stentorian vocals over a cello-dominated musical backing, and the doomy sound once the metal kicks in underscores that, whilst fans of technical or progressive metal styles will appreciate some of the more virtuoso passages here. In short, the band have cooked up a post-metal feast which will appeal to a broad range of metal fans rather than singing to the post-metal choir. I don't think it quite attains full-on classic status but I certainly don't think you'd be wasting your time to give it a try unless you have an especial distaste for technical or experimental metal styles.
