Music Review: Evil Saints

Evil Saints is a metal band from Arizona.

For the type of metal, they list death, black, thrash, and sludge. While the music is brisk, I would expect thrash to go a little faster, whereas I definitely hear some sludginess reminiscent of Torche. There is a sort of unrelenting darkness but with religious and historic themes (possibly based on medieval Europe) that very much says black metal to me.

Therefore, I am going to say that this may be more for sludge and black metal fans, but I also hear some Metallica, I think.

This is an area where I have to acknowledge weakness; because I am not a huge metal fan. I don't know how much distinction people who are bigger fans would make between the different types, nor how much they would reject or accept one type over another.

Evil Saints' music is mostly instrumental, not particularly melody-driven, and growls and pounds as it drives. If that sounds good to you, this is probably your thing. 

If it does not, then this may not be the band for you, but it is also possible I am not doing the best job of describing it.

In addition to the links below, Evil Saints are available on Spotify with a 30 minute EP, so there is no reason for metalheads not to check it out. Even if you are anti-Spotify, there are three other streaming options.

There is no downside to checking them out.
