Boghaunter - Writhe EP (2018)
Making their debut with this two-track
EP, the three-piece of Boghaunter makes up for that small number of
songs in volume and length, splitting nearly half an hour between
“Constellation Vows” and “Ordeals”. Lavishing a strong doom
base with blackened vocals and deathly guitar-work, the band weaves
back and forth between melancholy and anger, growing the presence of
the main riffs and expanding the scope of their sound into a powerful
swell. Careful deployment of each instrument within the songs, along
with a great ear for the tone interactions, helps spice up the tunes,
and for a first release, there's an impressive sense of direction and
purpose to each of the tracks. Here's hoping that craftsmanship
doesn't hold up a follow-up for too long, as the band gives the
impression of having quite a bit more to say with their music. Check
it out if you're in the mood for thoughtful doom with a harsh edge.
