From: Council Bluffs, Iowa
Sounds like: Alternative Metal
When one thinks of Iowa metal, there's usually only one band that comes to mind and that's Slipknot. Drowning In The Wake are ready to throw their name out there and make themselves known in the metal genre as being the next Iowa band that makes a dent in the scene. The EP opens up with "Intro" which is a 49 second ambient track which helps build the vibe for what's to come. "Cinture" blasts through the speakers with fury. The track is unrelenting and features a metalcore sound that will get the circle pits moving and heads banging for months to come. "Impostor" continues the onslaught with a Chimaira type sound which should be a fan favorite for metal and hardcore fans. "Egypt" features Jake Schoening (of Live & Obey) and is an absolute beast of a track. The track hits hard with its metalcore sound. It doesn't let up in its three and a half minute length. "Dead" is the lead single off the EP and doesn't disappoint. The track has a healthy dose of melody and heaviness. The track actually brings to mind early Slipknot and is a real gem of a single. The EP closes out with the instrumental track "Canto". It's a nice wind down ending track to an otherwise devastating EP.
Verdict:
Drowning In The Wake intends to make their mark on the metal scene with their new destructive "Intermission" EP.
