‘Lights
Down’ kicks things off at 110mph. A heavy intro with building percussion leads
to a chorus of anthemic proportion. For a band so aggressive and heavy they
sure know how to write a killer chorus. The intro track is screaming to be
heard, undeniably infectious. Renowned for putting on one hell-of-a live show,
the EP is no different. ‘We Are All Cursed’ is filled with high octane vocals
and that hair metal vibe that Glamour of
The Kill do in their own inimitable style.
Having
toured with both Papa Roach and Escape The Fate they decided to get
their frontmen involved. ‘Out of Control’, with its electro tinges, features
Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix who donates his vocals to a soaring chorus.
Whilst ‘Earthquake’ brings on board the talents of Escape The Fate’s Craig Mabbit. His overtones perfectly compliment
the grizzly vocals of lead singer Davey Richmond. The addition of the other
vocalists has made Glamour of The Kill raise their game even higher.
‘Blood Drunk’ is the finale, and the darkest track on the record. Heavy, without being too heavy so that is isolates listeners, Glamour of The Kill manage to find that perfect balance. And with a huge instrumental break-down in the middle, leading to a vocally defying ending, what more could the Yorkshire boys give.
Rock party
anthems with a hair metal edge, the four-piece go hard. Ambitious, aggressive
and downright breaking all the rules; and we love it. This could be the game
changer. 7.5/10
