Polkadot Cadaver/Last Call In Jonestown/Razor To Wrist Records/2013 CD Review


  Polkadot  Cadaver  are  a  band  from  Maryland  that  plays  a  mixture  of  thrash,  avant  garde  metal  and  experimental  rock  rock  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Last  Call  In  Jonestown"  which  was  released  by  Razor  To  Wrist  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording,  as  for  the  synths  when  they  are  utilized  they  bring  a  very  experimental  and  avant  garde  sound  to  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  thrash  with  avant  garde  and  experimental  rock  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times  as  well  as  some  soft  and  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  are  very  old  school  sounding  thrash  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  punk/thrash  style  yelling  and  clean  singing  avant  garde  vocals  along  with  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  parts  and  female  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  the  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Polkadot  Cadaver  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  thrash,  avant  garde  metal  and  experimental  rock  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band. RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Phantasmagoria"  "Sheer  Madness"  "Lunatic"  and  "Transisters  Of  Mercy".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
