Bound In Fear comes back to offer a lesson of violence made in England.
Created in 2015, the band composed of Ben Mason (vocals, Pintglass, ex-Pathological Waste), Ben Sutherland (guitar, Scribe of Existence, ex-Acrania), Steven Hunt (guitar), Keir Campbell (bass) and Alex Richins (drums) offers Eternal, its new EP.
Barely time to introduce ourselves, Cardinal Sin, the first single of this EP, strikes us with its strong rhythmic. Ghostly leads in the background, heavy sound and massive howlings, here is what we can expect! The band injects dark Beatdown influences to its Deathcore to weigh it down again, like on Left to Drown, the song that will open the crowd during live shows. Between heaviness and energy, the band perfectly handles its explosive melting while injecting heady tones to its effective rhythmic. My Mind, My Prison is next, and it immediately assaults us with this powerful scream and this haunting but solid rhythmic. You can expect some modern effects, but the song is shaped to make a crowded pit explode, in contrast to Everblack, a song that quickly slows down while still being very worrying. The rhythmic progressively comes back to crush us until the final, that lets us with The Harrowing, a song that makes us want to fight until we faint. Black tones melt to raw strength, offering mammoth breaks and heady harmonics until the last moment.
Bound In Fear know how to make themselves a place into an overcrowded scene. Eternal is short, but it easily shows the band knows where it goes, and its path drives them to a dark violence!
