Dampe's Keep/Self Titled/Glossolalia Records/2013 EP Review


  Dampe's  Keep  are  a  band  from  Oregon  that  plays  an  instrumental  form  of  raw  and  primitive  sounding  cascadian  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  titled  2012  ep  which  was  released  by  Glossolalia  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  primitive  black  metal  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  raw  and  primitive  sounding  combining  European,  Cascadian  and  post  black  metal  influences  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times  as  will  as  mixing  in  video game  music  riffs,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  dark  and  melodic  sounding  cascadian  black  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  and  song  writing  are  all  absent  from  the  recording  with  the  music  being  all  instrumental,  while  the  song  themes  are  based  on  the  Legend  Of  Zelda  games,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Dampe's  Keep  are  a  very  great  sounding  instrumental,  raw  and  primitive  cascadian  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Song  Of  Healing".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
