Mystlyfe's genre-blender packs return after quite a hiatus.Take one serving Mastodon. Add one half-cup of distorted sludge metal guitar. Strain out clean vocals. Mix in a handful of Baroness. Stir well. Garnish with a splash of Pantera's southern kick. Congratulations, you've made Blood of the Tyrant.
The Chicago four-piece is part of a trend of progressive sludge-like bands that is dominating a large chunk of musical real estate these days. While closest to Sludge, Blood of the Tyrant incorporates elements of thrash, doom, prog, and hardcore to form their own brand of metal.
BotT displays very impressive and developed song-writing for an unsigned band, penning flowing epics that move naturally from verse-to-verse and create a powerful impact. Some tricks and techniques are tried and true, but the ultimate product doesn't sound stale, and keeps the listener engaged.
