Trillion Red/Two Tongues/2011 EP Review


 Trillion Red are a band from San Francisco that mixes dark ambient with sludge/doom metal as well as a few other genres and this is a review of their self released 2011 e.p "Two Tongues".

Drums range from slow to mid paced drumming with some occasional fast playing and blast beats, while the synths when they are utilized bring a dark ambient feel to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very strong and powerful tone with some heavy riffing.

Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffing that combines sludge, noise rock, psychedelic, dark ambient and a few other genres together, while the lead guitars are very distorted sounding guitar leads that are melodic at times, as for the acoustic guitars when they are utilized they bring a middle eastern feel to the music.

Vocals are a mixture of clean singing and heavy sludge style growls and screams, while the lyrics cover dark and everyday themes, as for the production it has a very strong, heavy and professional feel to it.

In my opinion Trillion Red are a very good band that is hard to classify and has a style of their own, and if you are looking for something that is very original while still being rooted in Underground metal, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "No Visible Help (Hold Tight!)" and "Right Over To The Helm". RECOMMENDED BUY.
