La
Morte Young begins with a bang, but finds their groove and pacing throughout
the course of this cassette. Right from
the start, there is a haunting sort of metal with growling and it is explosive. This brings to mind all of those classic
hardcore bands like Darkest Hour, Every Time I Die and of course Converge.
It
gets a little quieter, a little bit calmer as Side A moves on, and each of
these songs is easily distinguishable from the next. There is a creaking and then a creeping
before we end Side A. It also needs to
be noted that Side A just has some amazingly heavy drumming and I love it so
much.
Side
B kicks off more with an electric guitar drone—just letting that one note ride
its course. There are still drums, but
this time around it is closer to an adventure in space. While slower, it is also ambient and
instrumental. Perhaps the beginning bit
was used merely to get your attention, but once La Morte Young gets it, they
will hold it using the skills they possess on the rest of this most awesome
cassette.
