Sounds Hard Rock/Metal
Ceres are a band from the very underrated Montana music scene and are looking to make a dent in the Hard Rock/Metal scene. Let's take a dive into their recent EP and see what they bring to the table. The opener "Trigger Warning" starts things off with a whirlwind of riffs to help set the vicious tone of what's to come. The melodic chorus brings to mind Staind, but the guitar solo that follows takes it to an entirely different level. The intensity of the opener really sets the bar high for the rest of the tracks. "Break Free" has a touch of Nu Metal to it. The crunch mixes with melody perfectly and will get the live crowd moshing and singing along in no time. "Secrets" takes almost a Progressive Metal approach with soaring guitar solos and a more moody vibe. It's a different sound but really shows that the band is capable of a different side of things. "Red Skies" kicks right into the action with a nice melodic riff. The Killswitch Engage vibes are strong on the track and should be very easy to get into for fans of Melodic Metal. The closer "With You" holds nothing back. It goes full speed ahead with a ferocity rarely heard from an up and coming act. Clocking in at only five tracks, it's a nice appetizer but you'll definitely be going back more and more.
Verdict:
If this EP from Ceres is any indication of what's to come, they're bound to breakthrough sooner rather than later.
