Theories Divide S/T EP Review

 

After a Long Six years between releases Theories Divide  have finally released their absolutely Brilliant Self Titled EP, the band originally recorded this in 2018 but it's only seeing the light of day in 2022 that's not going to make a difference how good this releases is,there's a great balance of aggression,feeling and atmosphere to explore on this release.

 Straight from the get go Ashes Fall hits like a tonne of bricks with plenty of Groove and Heaviness while combining Melodic passages and an extremely aggresive vocal delivery,about half way through the track there's a really foreboding riff that is full of atrmosphere and feeling which gradually builds up and unleashes an absolutely soaring lead, Fear No More opens up with a fast melodic riff and keeps switching between crushing riffs and fast paced aggressive sections complimented by even more killer lead guitar work,the mood starts to get a little more dark with the fantastic Poisonous Corruption the extremely prominent bassline throughout this track really adds to the heavy yet melodic riffs while the vocals adopt a more emotional delivery giving the whole sound much more added punch all this is rounded off with an awe inspiring lead near the end of the song.

 Half way throught the EP and we're treated to the absolutely epic track the aptly titled Rip Your Fucking Heart Out the pace is slightly slower then previous tracks but is made up for by the combination of Anger and Melodic Harmonies with absolutely fantastic drumming which is at times tribal/hypnotic while still mintaining a level of aggression, time for probably the Darkest and most emotional track on the release and my personal favourite on this release Engraved there's an almost Doom like atmosphere and structure to this track,full of anger,heaviness,Harmony and Melody,this is really hammered home at a section around the 4 minute mark that wouldn't sound out of place on some 90's Death/Doom album, overall a truly amazing offering, onto the last track on the EP the excellent   Ghosts Of Mine which kicks off with a truly excellent intro then gradually burst into an absolutely montrous song full of energy,emotion and anger.

 This is such a well crafted release with elements of different genres running throughout the EP giving it something for everyone to enjoy,the levels of atmosphere,emotions and killer musicianship makes this an offering that needs to be heard to be believed,hopefully this will gain Theories Divide even more fans then before.
