With Bared Teeth and Truth's EP review

Bit of a Triverse week this week, seeing as this is the second post I have on them, and I'll be reviewing their performance (along with State Control and The Meltdownz) at Club Rock on Halloween. Anyhow, With Bared Teeth and Truth's is the second EP from the bad mother fuckers that are Triverse Massacre.

Mike Collins, drummer of Triverse Massacre, show's off his artistic side with the EP's stunningly scary artwork!




Thing's start off with some sqeuals, creating the ambience for the EP, as Wolves At Your Gates crunchy introduction becomes audiable, before things get messy with the first verse of the song. The vocals are a lot better than the bands first EP, as we are able to understand what is being said. The song has a very lovely solo, and it shows how well James Graham and Chris Kelsall work together, as they both have decent guitar parts. The only problem with the song, is that it isn't entirley sure of what genre it want's to be! The solo is almost classic rock, the verses and chorus' Death Metal, and the introduction just plain metal. Still the guys are able to make the song run smothely!!

The second track, Exhale Betrayl, has been compared to Slayer a lot, however I can't help but feel that the speedy riff sounds a lot like the riff in Metallica's Battery. The chorus changes things, as does the second verse, slowing things down, but the riff ultimatly comes back for us to headbang along to. The song's pretty short, not getting the 3 minute mark, but it's damm sweet!

Bullet's Kill Beasts, my favourite track from their first EP, makes a return on this one, re-recorded and sounding better than ever. The drum's are heavier, Starck's voice sounds so much more Powerful, and the guitars are even erier than before. It's hands down my favourite track on this EP as well, and one the guy's will probably be forced to play at every gig they ever play.

The EP ends with Torn From The Throne, a beast of a track that changes time signatures more than Rush!!! But each change of pase is glourious, the band able to show how well they understand each other as they work together to create this headfucking masterwork! The bridge for this song is the best part of the EP, especially when Dan Fisher's bass comes in, giving him a chance to shine!

The EP is avaliable direct from the band for £3, or £7 with a T-shirt (hurry, there aren't many of the tee's left), or can be downloaded here for £3.96! And don't forget, they're playing Club Rock on Halloween, and entry's only £3!
