Looking at the cover art to this 7" I was anticipating one of two things: stoner metal or art-metal akin to the Hydra Head roster. What I got was not too far off. Texas natives Four Days to Burn churn out two cuts of stoner metal with flairs of southern rock and metalcore.
On side A we're treated to "Lieutenant." The song oozes of stoner metal with a dash chaotic metalcore. The song has a definite High on Fire vibe to it, but vocally they take a more Jacob Bannon style with high-pitched barks. The flipside, "Casino Bitch" is more of the same - noisy and sludgy metal with dashes of hardcore flairs here and there.
This 7" is a nice introduction to an upstart artist. If you're into High on Fire, Mastodon, or even early Isis, you may be interested in checking this one out.
