For fans of: Envy, Nionde Plagan, Suis La Lune, and Trachimbrod
When I got a message from a member of Gil Cerrone (a massively underappreciated band that released a killer EP this year) letting me know that another one of their bands had just recorded an EP, I was excited. Not super excited. Like...medium excited. So when I got hold of the 'Only Eye' EP by Australia's KERATIN my excitement level shot through the goddamned roof. This wasn't really good, it was fucking awesome. Like...Swedish awesome. So Tomb Tree whipped up 84 tapes that are ready to ship December 5th and now we're here, just under two weeks away.
(2022) KERATIN "Only Eye" (from 'Only Eye')
This screamo/post-hardcore jam begins immediately with everyone going full-tilt until the 28-second mark when that massive, gorgeous, swing begins and leads into one helluva Hot Cross-esque riff. Seriously, in the first minute the listener is dealt a flurry of influences and styles with solo salads, lower-end screams ala Nionde Plagan, dreamy riffs not unlike Suis La Lune, and the ability to get behind the weight and momentum of the song like Envy. The song has minimal lyrics (although they are repeated a ton) and coasts through the second half off the wave of the first, laying out a lush landscape and riff echoes. Hot damn, this EP is fucking fire.
