Yautja - Songs Of Lament
Yautja - Songs Of Lament
Crust, grind, sludge, death...
Metal descriptors sure are fun. That must be why Yautja decided to use elements from all of those sub-genres on this EP (mini-album?). Often they decide to shift styles in the middle of a song - which might seem jarring, but the transitions are always seamless.
That’s the word that best describes what this record is all about: “seamless”. They transition between time signatures, melodies, genres (like I said), and tempos. There’s some real virtuoso stuff here. And yet every song still feels like a song. A relentless onslaught of a song, but still a song.
Very impressive, very fun to listen to. And very streaming via Bandcamp below.
Highlights: Breed Regret • Of Lament • Crumbling
