The First Three Sins of Falling Meat
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Falling Meat and their self-titled EP album
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Consists of aggressive and rhythmic grooves with barb-wire thrash riffs, melodic moments, and rumbling bass riffs. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves spine shriving of various explosive growls. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into the vast world of angry and relentless beats that keep the sound moving forward with unstoppable energy.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Songs that push the boundaries on brutalization, rawness, energy, aggression, intense, stomach-churning, and dynamic
Immediately, as the listener presses that play button, the listener is greeted by the opening track, H or any Pill, which unleashes an explosive instrumental sound with deep growls.
Continuing with the listener’s musical journey with the second piece, Nebal, and the remaining two pieces, the listener will find a short and meticulously crafted album that draws inspiration from the classic death metal sound. At the same time, the album incorporates modern influences and offers the listener a unique soundscape.
At the same time, the listener will find that the production quality of the release, is top-notch, with every instrument perfectly balanced to create a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
The band’s devilmanship arsenal is on full display throughout the album, as they push the boundaries of the traditional death metal genre with cleverly integrated modern elements, including technical sophistication, atmospheric passages, and surprising tempo changes. There are various other characters within the walls of their music, such as being moderately melodic but brutal, raw, energetic, aggressive, intense, stomach-churning, and dynamic.
The instrumental arsenal consists of guitar work, with each note and chord executed with precision and skill. The rhythmic grooves are tight and precise, and the barb-wire thrash riffs give the sound an edgy, intense, brutal, captivating quality. The additional melodic sections provide a (delicate and intricate) beautiful contrast of adding complexity, light, and depth to the overall sound to the more aggressive elements of the sound.
The rumbling and powerful bass riffs provide a solid foundation for the rest of the instrumentation. At the same time, the drums are a force to be reckoned with, with angry and relentless beats that keep the sound moving forward with unstoppable energy.
The vocals are genuinely exceptional. They are explosive, with an impressive range of growls that add a powerful and emotional depth to the sound. The sheer intensity and passion delivered through the vocals are enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
Overall, Falling Meat is an awe-inspiring performance showcasing some serious musical fruit of art and the immense talent and creativity of the musicians involved.
Immerse yourself in the band’s musical world and experience the perfect symbiosis of death metal’s past and present.
