Ara/The Blessed Sleep/2013 EP Review


  Ara  are  a  band  from  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin  that  plays  a  very  heavy,  brutal  and  progressive  form  of  technical  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2013  ep  "The  Blessed  Sleep".

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  technical  riffs  that  are  very  heavy  and  brutal  sounding  with  some  progressive  elements  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while t he  lead  guitars  are  very  technical  sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls  to  high  pitched  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  philosophical  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Ara  are  a  very  great  sounding  heavy,  brutal  and  progressive  technical  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Demise  of  Reason"  and  "Despair  Personified".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
