Castevet - Mounds Of Ash

Castevet is one hell of a weird band, in a good way of course. I have never heard Post-Hardcore and death metal combined in such a way. I'm not even sure if I can call this Death Metal. While the rest of the metal world dabble in Post Rock with their tremolo filled Black Metal, this band takes it to death metal. The guitars buzz away in a very atmospheric way but the structure that reminds you of death metal with all the drumming, pounding away like madness. At times, Black Metal tendencies are explored in tremolos but a huge chunk sounds as if Chuck Shuldiner of Death decided to join Fugazi for a moment. On paper it may sound like a nightmare but for some reason it worked here. Go ahead and check out these boys. I'm honestly this becomes the next best thing. We need a break from the reign of Post Rock/Black Metal in metal blogs or magazines.
