| #FOR FANS OF: Death/Thrash |
A lot of influences here, but Narcotic Wasteland has their "own" sort of sound to them. Killer vocals, guitar riffs and drum frenzies. I enjoyed this album IMMENSELY! The kind of vibe it has just seems so welcoming to death metal listeners. The music takes precedence over everything. I think that they dug deep in their creative juices and let it spew onto here! All the songs are good in under 40 minutes clocking in length. I wanted it to go longer, but oh well. I think the technicality, production quality and vocals just slayed. Amazing debut album here. I'm surprised people have not discovered this band!
I like the structures of the riffs as well as the technicality. It's what drew me into this release. I'm trying to get more people interested in this band because I think that they have to offer the death metal community. The music, vocals and drums (again) are my favorite aspects of this release. The mixing was well done also. I don't really have anything negative towards this album. I think for a debut, they did awesome. Formed in 2011 in South Carolina I believe they have a long future ahead. They are literally riff-machines! All of the songs here are insurmountable. They really kick ass in the riff department!
A lot to offer (as I say), their music is full of intensity and amazing technical riffs. I like how everything seems to fit together on here! The leads are quality as well. I think on the newer material they've gotten even more technical in that department but on here the licks flow rampantly! What's most well constructed are the quality of the structures themselves. I'm sure it took a great effort making this debut. It really does show the influences but also themselves being an influence on the metal community. I'm hooked on this one (hence my narcotic!). Not literally, but just their sound, they kick some serious ass!
I couldn't find this on CD formatting so I had to resort to Spotify. I prefer the CD, but just getting to listening to this band on digital is enough for me at the moment. I think there might've been a limited supply of this coming out with a physical copy! Oh well, it doesn't mean don't check them out but be sure to listen to them! They've shown themselves in this metal world it's only you now to find them yourselves and discover what great music they put out there! They've really shown their genius in riff-writing. For you fellow guitarists you're going to find that their technicality is hard to pull off. Discover Narcotic Wasteland! (Death8699)
