Blown by the Giant Howl !

How is the sound ?

Howling Giant is a new band in town coming from Nashville, Tennessee. They just released this 4-tracks EP on Bandcamp, a brilliant production, and I bet you fuzzers will also be blown by the Giant Howl !

Thunderous heavy riffs with some Sleepesque guitar sounds (particularly “Camel Crusher”), it also reminds me a lot Burn The Sun, that I already reviewed.

Steve Rodger who is a frequent buyer on Bandcamp also pointed out Freedom Hawk similarities, and I must agree with him !

Why is this album worth listening ?

“ Whale Lord ” and “ Camel Crusher ” are two epic songs that will blow your mind !

” and “ ” are two that will blow your mind ! The more melodic and airy parts like will certainly remind you that Elder style (like in the end of “Whale Lord”).

(like in the end of “Whale Lord”). Talking about melodic parts, the guitar solos are fuckin’ genious ! Sometimes using the wah pedal, sometimes using a soft delay, it’s just pure gold !

Sometimes using the wah pedal, sometimes using a soft delay, it’s just pure gold ! The bass also does a wonderful job, its thick fuzzy sound is huge and some parts sound a bit like Ozo from Truckfigters.

In what situation you should listen to this album ?

Of course while trying to escape that Giant you sadly woke up while he was hibernating !

Something particular to note ?

Notice the piano in the songs ? Well maybe not at the first listen, but I think it’s definitely adding a superb layer to the overall sound 😉
