REDSIX Delivers a Vast and Heavy Release
A new EP release from REDSIX delivers an incredibly vast but powerful metal soundscape that blends into an anthemic alternative rock, and it all has this sort of cinematic backbone to it with blistering and humongous sonic presence and the ability to almost bend genres at free will but it all comes with this sort of character which is the thing you get attached to the most.
The Part1:Diagnostics maxi single wastes absolutely no time hitting you with guitar tones that are dropped down to a deeper tuning giving the songs a trudging and rumbling heaviness, but there is also that ambiance and its underbelly that makes these songs sound so much bigger and the vocals are belting and passionately delivered.
These elements combined really have a unique way of creating an atmosphere that you can just get engulfed by and eventually washed away with but during that, you get hit like a sucker punch to the gut because these songs do deliver a brutal sort of heaviness to them as well.
You can tell there was a lot of attention to detail during the creation of this album, but even throughout all of that, it never loses this sort of character or actual heart that it was built with in the first place and that may be what matters most.
The way this whole thing comes together has a crazy sort of energy because the band gives off the feeling of a live performance in certain ways almost as if the songs were recorded live on the floor and the players are just feeding off of each other the entire time.
This gives the songs the feeling of being alive and breathing and this is something that makes you feel more in the moment with these songs.
Again, they are super anthemic and you can jump around the room, headbang, or sing along with your fists in the air, but whatever you do, this will impact you and the record will leave a mark.
Their ability to blend in that ambient and vest undertone with the heavy riffs and sort of fire-like energy is really what makes this record special and listening to it, in a way, is almost like a little escape because it does have the ability to pull you away from your surroundings to put you into this whole other place.
This EP is 12 minutes long but it hits hard, and does so with a robust combination of color and edginess that never lets up in terms of being heavy or having inventive and fierce riffs and guitar tone. Still, it blends in these other textures so well that by the time the EP is over you have to reacclimate yourself back to reality again.
This is something that I've missed for quite some time, and any kind of music so to have it now was extremely refreshing, to say the least.
This was an impactful opus of an EP and within a three-song spectrum, these guys managed to pull tons off and get me addicted.
Check this record out and do not be afraid to turn it up.
