serpentcult - trident nor fire




Trident Nor Fire
is the rather unique debut EP from Belgium's Serpent Cult and this shit is heavy. I'm talking just ridiculously dense, churning, downtuned riffs galore gelling together with plodding pulses of bass and thundering percussion - all alongside great (and wholly unexpected) female vocals that only add to the band's atypical stance within this particular realm of metal. It's slow, but not too slow. Sludgy, but not too sludgy. So, yeah… it basically rules. The sheer fury and mass of some of the rhythms actually reminds me of the mighty Crowbar to some degree, but with more of a doomy sort of "contemporary Sabbath" thing going on. Hell, they close with a cover of Uriah Heep's "Rainbow Demon", so that sort of gives you an idea of where some of their influences are coming from, but… rest assured the end result's definitely 1,000 times more crushing!"
