Mucklers Circle
"Cannons, Train wrecks, Boxes of dishes being kicked down stairs, anything loud & heavy that offends or pisses people off". These are the words that the band used to describe their influence in what they do, pretty strong stuff if you ask me. Hailing from the USA, Heavy Metal is what this five piece band is bringing to the table. I logged onto their Facebook page and listened to four tracks, here’s how it went.
The first track was called Mucklers Circle. A frantic guitar solo gets the ball rolling, setting the tone for the whole track. A marshalled drum beat controls the tempo, the vocals kicked in and I was pleasantly surprised that despite being heavy and raw, you could still follow everything, and feel involved. Half way through, the tempo changes with another well-constructed guitar solo. There’s an incredible beat all the way through, and the guitar riffs act like a drug, very addictive. The sounds almost unique and I struggled to liken them to any band I had heard before, which is always a good thing.
Eden Shall Burn starts with simple strumming on the guitar, however there’s a real sinister and evil feel about it, distortion surrounds the catchy guitar tune before the roar of the vocals fills the room. I soon found myself throwing my head around, the puncturing drum beat and solid guitar riff is complimented by a surprising softer voice which adds a whole new dimension to the track. Even though the tracks are long, there’s so much going on which just grabs your neck and pulls you in, holding you in place until the track finishes. I liked the contrast between the roaring and softer vocals.
Paradigm Suicide has a familiar feel to it, heavy! The track starts with a beat and guitar riff, you could walk alongside a marching army. There are some insane guitar solos going on, and the tempo varies from supersonic to chilled. The two different styles of vocals are on parade again, and I really do like the different contrasts. It gives the track a bit of variation. I like that the guys don't mess around and just stick to what they know, in my opinion, if gives the track that extra bit of edge that I look for.
Cut throat is the fourth and final track from the selection that I listened to. It follows the same theme as the first three tracks, this is the heaviest hitting track I listened to and one which I think took things to the next level. As always the vocals are strong and brutal, throwing you into the middle of a ferocious pit. The tone is deep and meaningful and kept me wanting more. So conclusion............ I liked the stuff the band were throwing out there, pretty surprised I haven’t heard of these guys before, I liked the way they kept things simple, would like to see more of the softer vocals and perhaps see if they can produce some softer rock. Top effort though!
