| single review Trophies Of Dahmer – Cherished Waves (Single – www.myspace.com/trophiesofdahmeruk)
Trophies Of Dahmer have got to be one of the more serious contenders for success in our area. Their intense, state-of-the-art metal assault is relentless and brutal, and with six band members (including 2 guitarists and keyboards) their sound is a multi-layered wall of noise that leaves you exhausted after just one listen. Epic.
Having formed little over a year ago, the band wrote a brace of tunes that they gigged before deciding to ditch the lot and start again, taking the best bits of the old set and concentrating on writing material for their debut EP. If this taster is anything to go by, Trophies Of Dahmer should expect to be signing a deal with a decent metal label in the not too distant future, and Kerrang! should be all over them.
Cherished Waves kicks you in the teeth from the first bar with galloping drums and bass and crunching guitar riffs over-layered with keyboard washes. Singer Dan screams and roars all the way through, with some effective vocal chants and wicked guitar runs. The track is a monster.
Think you’re into metal? Get yourself over to Trophies Of Dahmer’s site and test your credentials, you pussies.
