From: Freeport, IL
Sounds like: Progressive Punk Rock/Metal
Blackcat Manor are a band from Illinois that mixes together Punk and Metal into a melting pot of goodness in their most recent "Relentless" EP. Let's dive in and tell you why you need this in your collection. "Hellfire" is the opener and lead single off the EP (it was also featured on this past season of American Horror Story: Cult). The track is pure adrenaline and shines bright with a fierce edge. The guitar solos on the track are brilliant and they really adds layers of awesomeness. "Miss Used" takes the energy up a few more notches as it barrels ahead full speed. The only slow down comes by way of the track going for a knockout with a guitar solo/breakdown which pulverizes the listener. It's such an incredible track to jam out to! "Look Inside" brings the sing along from the get go and it goes for a controlled chaos of a sound. It has a Hard Rock/Metal sound to it that brings to mind Iron Maiden or Avenged Sevenfold. The track is very radio friendly and has a lot going for it. "An Old Friend" is a fun track to just get lost in. The high octane sound combined with the infectious vocals make it a stand out track. The guitar solo on the track is simply out of this world. The closing track "Forcibly Yours" is Blackcat Manor at their finest. The track is fast, unapologetic and as the title of the EP suggests, Relentless. Do yourself a favor and pick up this EP right now!
Verdict:
Blackcat Manor's newest EP will get you jacked up with its high energy sound.
