Deep In The Mire - UPDATE - The Moth
Here we have an update from this band from Leeds. They have a new single called The Moth. The guys were good enough to send me link through so I could check it out. Last time I checked these guys out they had a very acoustic theme going on. From the start of this track I thought I was listening to another band, a much heavier electric feel hits you from the off, a regimented drum beat kicks off in tandem with this dark riff adding volume to the piece. The tempo varies throughout, often changing when electric guitars are replaced with acoustic. It’s a really good touch and for me a vast improvement from the previous three tracks. The vocals are solid and pretty much flawless, they complement the style of track perfectly and adapt to the changes that are constant throughout. Adding to that, they are also very easy on the ears and I can imagine that this different sound that the band is producing will appeal to a lot more people. A really good update!

Deep In The Mire
This 5 piece band from Leeds, bring modern, progressive rock to the table. Taken from the bands Facebook page, they say, “The band fuse modern rock with traditional Persian music to create fresh and engaging soundscapes”. I was pretty interested as to what traditional Persian music would sound like mixed in with the rock, so I chilled out, sat down and whacked it on.
Biganeha was the first track I listened to. A melodic acoustic guitar greets us and the Persian feel to the track soon takes over, it reminded me slightly of 30 Seconds To Mars track, Hunter. The lyrics are soothing and without having a rock feel, keeps you intrigued as to what will come next. There’s a solid guitar solo three quarters of the way through the track which is pretty good, also it’s quite nice that it’s an acoustic for a change rather than the familiar electric sound associated with rock music. This track took me aback a bit as on the bands Facebook page, with named influences such as Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave, I was expecting something completely different to what I thought, but who likes the norm anyway!
The second track I got was, Again. There’s a very familiar feel to the opening, and could almost be mistaken as a continuation from the previous track. There are a few more unusual sounds taking place that add different layers and added depth to what’s going on around them. The vocals are crisp and clear, they accompany the style of track very well. On the whole the track is that little bit punchier, has more of a tune to follow along with to the first track and has more of a rock feel to it. Once again throughout the track there is the odd guitar solo which works well.
Mouthfreeze was the final track. The beginning follows the previous two tracks, being very slow, chilled out. The lyrics kick in and again they were never going to be spine tingling and earth shattering but accompanied by the soothing drum beat and acoustic guitar they do a job. Saying that there are occasions where the lyrics take off, and show off the ability that is clearly there. The track is quite long, so if you want something to kick back with and forget your troubles, this is perfect. The melodic nature to the track will calm you down and make you feel like there aren’t any troubles at all.
I’ll be honest and say I haven’t heard anything like this before, and who knows there is bound to be a market out there for it. The guys have already amassed a large following on Facebook so they are clearly doing something right.
