We Were Viper Pilots/Progeny/2013 EP Review


  This  is  a  review  of  another  recording  from  We  Were  Viper  Pilots  which  continues  their  instrumental  hybrid  of  progressive  death  metal,  djent  and  ambient  rock  with  the  self  released  ep  being  called  "Progeny"  and  released  in  2013.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  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,  as  for t he  synths  when  they  are  utilized  they  bring  a  dark,  atmospheric  and  ambient  sound  to  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 t heir  own  along  with  a  great  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while t he  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  progressive  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for t he  acoustic  guitars  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  enhance  the  progressive  and  ambient  elements  of  the  recording.

  Vocals  and  songwriting  are  all  absent  form  this  recording  with t he  music  being  all  instrumental,  while  the  song  themes  cover  darkness,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording  with  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  We  Were  Viper  Pilots  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  progressive  death  metal,  djent  and  ambient  rock,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "The  Miasma".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
