Serpent Crown/Self Titled/Horror Pain Gore Productions/2013 CD Review


  Serpent  Crown  are  a  band  from  California  that  plays  a  mixture  of  sludge  and  thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  titled  2013  album  which  was  released  by  Horror  Pain  Gore  Productions.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  sludge  and  thrash  metal  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  some  hardcore  elements,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  old  school  and  melodic  sounding  thrash  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  all  old  school  power/thrash  metal  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  mythology  themes,  as  for  the  production   it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Serpent  Crown  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  thrash  metal  and  sludge  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Prelude  To  The  Netherworld'  and  "Children  Of  The  Night".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
