Primate/Draw Back The Stump/Relapse Records/2012 CD Review


  Primate  are  a  band  from  Atlanta,  Georgia  that  plays  a  mixture  of  crust,  grindcore  and  hardcore  punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Draw  Back  The  Stump"  which  was  released  by  Relapse  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  tone  with  riffs  that  dominate  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  crust,  grindcore  and  hardcore  punk  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  some  melodies  being  thrown  into  the  riffing, while  the  lead  guitars  are  early  80's  style  metal/punk  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  high  pitched  grindcore  screams  and  growls  mixed  in  with  some  crust/hardcore  style  shouting,  while  the  lyrics  cover  drinking,  violent  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Primate  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  crust,  grind,  hardcore  ans  punk  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Global  Division"  "Hellbound"  "Wasted  Youth"  and  "Get  The  Fuck Of  My  Lawn".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
