Continent
is a Downtempo/Deathcore band from Niagara Falls, Ontario.
The music
is aggressive, with the lyrics delivered in growling shouts, guitars and drums
pounding inexorably in the background.
The
greatest weakness of the band is a tendency for there to not be a lot of differentiation
between the tracks, a frequent stumbling block for "core" bands.
At the same
time, when you do hear something different, there is often a kind of sci-fi
vibe to it, which surprised me. That may have been most evident on the title
track, "Wasteland", which also seems to have some industrial roots.
"Decaying Days" has some interesting bridge work, and "Fake"
had a strong intro.
Currently I
have only heard the 5-track Wasteland EP. The band does not have their
own video channel yet, but a sound-only video has been posted by the label, We
Are Triumphant (also home to GutterLIFE).
More
information should be available as the band progresses, but all the links I
could find are listed below.
*Technical
difficulties kept me for posting yesterday, so I will post the review that
should have gone up yesterday tomorrow.
