Mindscar - Ashes (EP)

4/4/2014

 
Picture
three tracks make up this ep from Mindscar. "god's creation" is the opening track. there is some amazing guitar work here but its been mixed a bit too loud so it has 'ruined' its tonality somewhat. "ashes made of heaven" introduces some clean vocals and "beneath all the broken bones" close out the three songs with some amazing, if a bit too loud, riff work.

overall this could be amazing but the mix seems a bit off. the guitarist truly has some amazing riff work and great solo work - its not just a wall of noise. there are spaces where you should be able to hear a solid supporting bass line but it has mostly been buried and only surfaces an odd time. the guitar overwhelms the vocal at times too and this is a fair growling vocal for the most part - there is an inclusion of a clean vocal again as well - some of the 'dual' vocal is a good idea but this feels half-hearted - either do it or don't - if you're going to use it then experiment with it more often without limiting it to one section. the drummer is a power-house and is not reliant on blast beats.

its hard to give this a specific genre - i don't hate this and do look forward to what mindscar will do in the future as i hear and feel an improvement in their work. there is talent here, and its finding its focus.
