Metal bands from Spain are a rare breed, there are very
few I can think off to name, now whether this is due to an enclosed musical
climate, or them never breaking out of the local scene. Hopefully As My World
Burns is one of the few to break out of their native country and break into the
UK Scene.
Featuring both screamed and melodic vocals, As My World
Burns features extracts from the metalcore scene as well as fusing it with the
progressive genre to create a sonic implosion of sound that keeps the listener
guessing. Throwing some djent style riffs down as well, this is a band that is
always keeping the listener on their toes.
Featuring songs with names such as “Dali Carried A
Melting Clock in His Pocket” and “Water Bears and Jellyfish” you can tell that
this band is suitably insane which definitely fits in with their musical style.
They flow from brutal metal to extremely
minimalist passages featuring barely any guitar and vocals only.
My one complaint is that the mix needs to be better to
get the vocals higher, and that the clean vocals need to be worked on a little
bit more, in some tracks they are great, whereas in some others it starts to
become a little bit grating over long listening.
Overall this this is a damn good attempt for an EP and is
definitely the building blocks of something bigger. I definitely hope to see
more of this band in the future.
7/10
