We Were Viper Pilots/Colorless/2013 CD Review


  We  Were  Vipers  are  a  band  from  the  United  States  that  plays  a  very  instrumental  and  progressive  form  of  death metal  with  elements  of  djent  and  ambient  rock  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2013  album  "Colorless".

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  thrown  into t he  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  riffs  that  combine  progressive  death  metal  with  djent  and  ambient  rock  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  a  goof  amount  of  melody  being  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  progressive  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  enhance  the  progressive  and  ambient  elements  of  the  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  absent  from  this  recording  with  the  music  being  all  instrumental,  while  the  song  themes  cover  darkness  and  philosophical  topics,  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  album.

  In  my  opinion  We  Were  Vipers  are  a  very  great  sounding  instrumental  hybrid  of  progressive  death  metal,  djent  and  ambient  rock  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Tuned  To A  Dead  Channel"  "The  Aching  Taste  Of  Blue"  "His  Eyes  Where  Eggs  Of  Unstable  Crystal"  and  "The  Prison  Of  His  Own  Flesh".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
