From: Houston, TX
Sounds like: Metal



"Singularity" starts off with riffage to get things cranked right in with a steady Metal sound. The circle pit intensity gets into higher gear as it blazes into the first verse alongside an early Lamb of God like sound. The chorus is heavy as well as easy to scream along with. The instrumentation takes over and then veers into the second chorus with ease. The bridge features stellar guitar work and ttransitions into a more Progressive Metal feel along with it. The track eventually dips back into the chorus to close out. "Doombringer" has the band treading into the Doom Metal spectrum for a bit. The guitar riffs in the opening transition into back into their signature Metal sound. The chorus dips back down into the moody, slowed down Doom Metal vibe. The guitar solo later in the track switches things up even further and simply crushes. "Blood Moon" builds a Progressive atmosphere with its intro for the first minute or so. The slowed down pacing still has the guitar chops but overall it's more controlled chaos throughout. "Beyond the Horizon" takes things back up a notch to close things out. The track is blistering with its intensity and really pulls no punches in its delivery.

Verdict:
Direlands conjure up an action packed EP filled to the brim with their trademark Metal sound.
