Master Charger/Unity In Black/Black Vulture Records/2013 CD Review


  Master  Charger  are  a  band  from  England  that  plays  a  mixture  of  doom  metal,  psychedelic,  70's  rock  and  punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Unity  In  Black"  which  was  released  by  Black  Vulture  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present  on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  doom  metal,  psychedelic,  70's  rock  and  punk  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  a  good  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  70's  metal/hard  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  all  clean  singing  doom  metal/hard  rock  vocals  that  utilize  some  more  aggressive  sounding  element  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  occult  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  old  school  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  the  last  2  songs  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In my opinion  Master  Charger  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  doom  metal,  psychedelic,  70's  rock  and  punk  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Super  Depth  Charge"  "Unity  In  Black"  "Greedfeeder"  and   "I  Ride  With  Vengeance".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
