This Australian band from Sidney has been around for over 10 years! And “Black Dolphin” is the band’s second album and certainly does not direct the topic in side of a water fauna. At first glance, the cover-art suggests associations with one of the harder prison in the world, that is Black Dolphin in Russia.
The music based on the canons of Thrash Metal with strong Groove influences is raw and sharp like prison rigor. The sound of guitar riffs and vocal screams are strong and rough like prison walls. Only here and there are short para-melodic themes that give any hope… A hope to prisoners for a better tomorrow… However, just like a hope of prisoners is quickly dispelled, and here these melodies are illusory. The harassing guitar’s themes are dominate here. And the percussive blows strongly stroke like crashing hits of guards directed to undisciplined prisoners. And sometimes these drums just rhythmically blast and shoot like guards’ guns. At other times they break the rhythms and accentuate. These types of drums in combination with dynamic guitar’s riffs give Groove kick for the whole. Of course, the vocal is aggressive, screaming and barbaric…
The rhythmics and the musical intensity of the whole could depict situations that are happening in prisons… A sudden uprising, a rebellion that turns into chaos! A fight for survival!
However, the sound of the guitars is too rough for me and the sound of the drums is too boxy, but I think that would not be important during the concert in the Black Dolphin. There important is aggression and rebellion!
