YOUR HIGHNESS & HEDONIST - SPLIT EP
A long overdue review of this split between two heavy stoner influenced bands. I went to a show of these two bands a couple of days ago so I already told you how I perceived these bands.
Your highness kicks of this split with three songs that sounds more stoner and not as punk as their live set. But we all know that stoner rock is nothing more than hardcore punk kids idea of doom metal. And that is exactly what Your Highness delivers here. These three songs have nice grooves, good guitar lines, harsh vocals and nice solos.
Hedonist also provides us with three songs on this record. Their style is a bit dirtier that Your highness. The songs on this split can be placed somewhere between Motörhead, High on fire, Down and doom band like Conan or Sons of Otis.
But both bands deliver us good, groovy but very hard songs on this record. If this split was a boxing match and a winner should be declared, Hedonist would be it. But it would be a win on points, not a knock out. So good record by two good bands.
