Sunami / Gulch – Split EP (2021)

September 11, 2023

I think I prefer the songs on the S/T EP – these are the tracks that made me fall in love with Sunami after all – but the production here has got to be the best on any Sunami release that I’ve heard. The riffs and beatdowns just seem extra fucking hard as well, the ending of “Step Up” is just absolutely fucking off the chain, fam.

Gulch’s bass drum is like a mule kick to the head. The riffs also give me more death metal vibes than hardcore, but these guys go hard all the same. Don’t let the nice acoustic outro to “Bolt Swallower” (lol) fool you, “Accelerator” is coming to fuck you in the face.
