Well the first official band from North Carolina to be reviewed by NC Music Scene is The Casque. And man what a great way to start out for NC Bands. The Casque just recently released their new EP "The Lost Art of Thought" and I had the pleasure of giving it a listen and reviewing this lovely little release.
The album has a nice run together so you gotta play it in order to get the full effect. The first track "Time Flies When Your In a Coma" is easily my favorite track off the album but sets the tone for whats to come. Heavy screams, great guitar work, and some killer chorus's make this EP an outstanding release. They even throw you a curve ball or two by an amazing instrumental interlude. Jeremy also has a very unique scream, opting out of highs and carrying a low scream the whole record it makes every song feel heavier. However all of that is not what makes this CD one of my favorite records released this year. Its the fact that The Casque are doing something different, there songs aren't the typical metal-core song, why they do have their breakdowns and 2-steps. They do them in a insanely different way.I I give this release a 4/5 and highly suggest you go pick it up. They also will be touring this winter, and have lots of shows coming up within the next 2 weeks including shows with Solid State heavy hitters Inhale Exhale and T&N newbies Sent By Ravens.
Thanks for reading,
