Baptists/Bushcraft/Southern Lord/2013 CD Review


  Baptists  are  a  band  from  Vancouver  B.C,  Canada  that h as  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with a  musical  style  that  combines  hardcore with  punk and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Bushcraft"  which  will  be  released  by  Southern  Lord  Records.

  Drums  range  from s low,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  hardcore  with  punk  and  death  metal  influences  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  hardcore  style  yell,  screams  and  growls  that h ave  a  death  metal  edge  to  them,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark,  violent  and  hateful  themes,  as  for t he  production  it h as  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on t his  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Baptists  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Think  Tank  Breed"  "Motar  Head"  "Bushcraft"  and  "Russian  Spirits".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
