Doldrey Only Death is Eternal 12″

Metalheads and punks have always overlapped, and a lot of the best contemporary hardcore and metal borrows from the other genre. Singapore’s DOLDREY showcases the stunning effect that marriage can be on their latest EP. This is, by all intents and purposes, straight up crushing death metal with some thrash flair. But the attitude behind it and the production gives it a crusty speedpunk sheen that makes it irresistible. This handful of tracks are performed beautifully and recorded with serious heft. The vocals are brutal as you like, and of course the band’s got riffs for eons. Dialed in, ferocious, and fun as hell.
