Firstly, I’m pleased that Red Mist have opted for their tracks to be based around chord sequences and guitar licks rather than the endless heavy riffing adopted by loser-metal bands like Lamb of God. Not that the sound that Red Mist have got is original, it’s kind of an amalgam of all the doom and hardcore metal you can conjure up from In Flames’ vocals and rolling drums to Slayer’s dual guitar lines.

The variation in the vocals is actually pretty nice, he’s got a fair few different tones in there, adopting different timbres to match the intensity of the lyrics or backing, but always throwing it out hard and rough without pretense.

There’s enough breakdowns in the tracks to keep metalheads rocking out without going over the top and the tracks are well structured without a feeling that they’re going on too long (which can often be a gripe of mine towards this kind of metal).

I can rock to this, it’s kind of safe and balanced but I’m not sure it’s massively memorable.
