Cara Neir - Sublimation Therapy EP

Band request from Dallas, TX.

I reviewed Cara Neir last year when they released

"Stagnant Percecptions" - read here - and it was primarily
black metal with crust and sludge leanings.

This EP is a different beast. Seventeen tracks in 22 minutes
give you an idea of the short shocks that await you.

The harsh vocals and powerful sound are still on show but
have now been channeled into a collection of grindcore head
fuckers. If Napalm Death had flirted with the aesthetics of black
metal, this could be the result.

Much to my surprise, even though most songs clock up at just
over a minute, there are variations within the song structures
that also throw up elements of hardcore, sludge and crust
among the grindcore madness. But hey, I know virtually fuck all
about this genre, so as always, check it out yourselves.

Becasue they are good guys, you can name your price at Bandcamp

Cara Neir - Stagnant Perceptions (2011)

Band request from Dallas, TX.

Cara Neir are a two-man project which is primarily

Black Metal, a genre I know very little about but this

seems to step beyond it's limitations and I can hear

Crust, Hardcore with lashings of heavy Sludge and

I can dig the almighty noise this delivers.

The guitars are gloriously distorted and totally mesh

with the vocals, which would not sound out of place

on a grindcore album.

There are some atmospheric passages which do not

diminish the power but add to the feeling of unease.

The faster tracks mix an epic feel with brutality and

as the sheer aggression washes over your senses, you

are suddenly aware of the fucking great guitar riffs

that are lurching out of the speakers.

If my limited knowledge in any way makes you feel

like checking them out, listen below.

They are also cool guys and have a pay-what-ya-want at Bandcamp
