The New Jacobin Club/Left Behind/2012 EP Review


  The New  Jacobin  Club  are  a  band  from  Canada  that  plays  horror  punk  mixed  in  with  some  death  metal  and  thrash  influences  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  ep  "Left  Behind".

  Drums  range from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  blast  beats, while  the  keyboards  bring  an  atmospheric  sound  to  the  music  with  some  sound  effects,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  riffs  that  dominate  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  punk/metal  riffing  that  utilizes  some  influences  from  thrash  and  death  metal,  while t he  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  hard  rock  guitar  solos and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean  singing  vocals  with  some  deep  death  metal  growls  and  screams,  while  the lyrics  cover  dark,  evil  and  horror  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on this  recording,  in  addition  the  last  song  was  recorded  live.

  In  my  opinion  The  New  Jacobin  Club  are  a  very  great  horror  punk/metal  hybrid  and  if  you  are  a fan  of  this  style,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Demon  Prince"  and  "Blood  of  The  Servant  Girl".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
