Hedra - DIY Doom (3 Inch CD)
The 3" CD, yeah its tiny and i must admit i haven't seen too many of those. The CD dishes up 2 tracks of unrelenting Doom, dirty and raw to the extreme. The first track "Dirtsea" has a repetitive slow grinding riff, pulsating along for about 4 minutes before taking the tempo up a notch with a killer groove before slowing down once again. The vocals are screaming, horror filled tortured yells which compliments the monstrous riffing. There is even some great soloing with even a hint of melody which adds some real color to the track. " Below the Graves" is the other track, once again it is about as doom as you can get. Slow but also with a sense of demented groove, once again the vocal work is sick and twisted. There is a lot of bands that do this stuff but this one of the better ones of the new league of Sludge Doom bands that have that sick vocal sound. "Below The Graves" is similar to the first track in the way it has a great tempo change to build up the tension. Being only a 2 tracker, this only a teaser for the future. I can't wait to see where this band doe's next, i have a feeling this band will finish up being on a lot of play-list's within a few month's if these 2 monster tracks are anything to go by. Check them out, this is some killer Doom.
