EP Review: Jumpscare – Sowing Storms (Volcano Records)
Jumpscare are an alternative metal band based in Naples (Italy). Sowing Storms is their debut EP released in June 2017 via Volcano Records.
My Purifying Day’s crashing drums & building riff leads to a crescendo of thrashy metal with vocals that have a bit of early Hetfield mixed with flashes of a cleaner sound. The heavy beat drives the track on nicely with a smattering of melody & killer sounding breakdown adding a chaotic undertone.
An impressive opener that has the rawness of a garage band but far less production issues.
Following up that breathless start, The Climb has much deeper rhythm that’s weighted towards the bass & drums. That doesn’t stop it being an incredibly catchy & exciting tune especially when the vocals take on a more hardcore edge. The screeching has such power behind it, it really is startling stuff.
The three track EP comes to an end with the bone-crunching heaviness of the title track. Confirmation that Jumpscare have a hell of a lot of energy & talent. It’s easy to picture this music played in a live environment with a legion of fans going absolutely mental to the breakdowns.
