Our Take
Our Take
HOWLING SYCAMORE, the enigmatic avant-garde metal project, has graced us with their self-titled debut album, and it's safe to say this musical journey is anything but ordinary. With a lineup featuring legendary musicians like Jason McMaster (Watchtower), Davide Tiso (Ephel Duath), and Hannes Grossmann (Alkaloid), you know you're in for a wild ride.
From the moment the opening track, "Upended," hits your ears, you're transported to a realm where traditional song structures are thrown out the window, and experimentation reigns supreme. McMaster's haunting vocals juxtaposed with Tiso's intricate guitar work create a sonic landscape that is both mesmerising and disorienting.
Tracks like "Let Fall," with its pummelling drums and visceral screams, showcase the band's penchant for pushing boundaries and challenging the listener. Meanwhile, songs like "Chant of the Earth" offer moments of respite with delicate melodies that lull you into a false sense of security before plunging you back into the chaos.
The production on Howling Sycamore is top-notch, allowing each instrument to shine through the cacophony of sounds. Grossmann's drumming is particularly impressive, adding a sense of urgency and precision to the madness.
In conclusion, Howling Sycamore's debut album is a tour de force of avant-garde metal that will leave you both exhilarated and perplexed. Strap in and prepare to be taken on a wild and unpredictable journey through the twisted minds of these musical maestros.
