Snowÿt Demo

Well, this is my first review for this site, but this is a very very, more than great demo to review. It's recorded on a low budget, so I don't count any of the sound quality against them. What matters here is the music and the talent these guys have, and that stands out very well on here. Snowyt's one of the very few upcoming bands that can mix (very well, by the way) a wide range of genre's. There's stuff on this demo ranging from mostly trash sounding, but also alot of power influence thrown in. Six Foot is a song that justs kicks your face in the entire time and it also features a very nice solo from Vic. You just know this guy is gonna get better. Next is Killing Spree, which just by the song title already lets you know this ain't no love ballad. Some very nice guitar work on here from 2 young musicians. Throw in another great solo (it's kinda hard to hear, cuz of the sound quality, but you still get the effect). The best part of the song though is the nice "KILL! KILL! KILL!" chanting in the bridge. Very old school Metallica sounding there. Finally, there's Tight Rope which just proves that these guys only get better with each new song they write. Everything you could ever want in a metal song is in here. Vic is soloing left and right from the start to the finish. It's has some great choirish backing vocals, great drumming (as does the previous 2 also) and some mean-kick-you-in-the-face riffs. You can hear more of the bass work in this one too. All around, a great song, and my favorite on the demo. Again, don't count sound/production quality against them. You can tell these guys got talent, and aren't affraid to use it.

I've been anticipating the release of the second Snowyt demo, seeing as how I was to slow and could not get my hands on the first demo. This band has what it takes to become one of the top metal bands. You really can't compare these guys to anyother sound because they kind of created a new sound.

Six Foot- Has a cool intro that reminds me of early thrash bands. Which is followed by a pretty cool riff and a lot of finger action. This song keeps a moderate pace throughout the song, followed by an occasional drum fill. Solo shows how these guys have made thrash and 80's metal into there sound. A lot of pinch harmonics and all out band your head style of music.

Killing Spree- Me thinks Ted Nugent would be really proud of this song, with the dive bomb in the beginning of the song and all. Stown's vocals are best showed on this song; starting out with a moderate low toned chorus followed by a screaming Killing SPREE. Jesse Stown shines on this song with a brilliant double bass beat in the beginning of the song foolowed by Erik's thundering bass slaps. There is a little high end on this song, but overall its not bad.

Tightrope- A rather long song, but probably the best one on this album. You want to know what Snowyt sounds like; this song shows the heavy beat and fast riffs that is like most thrash bands. Stown's voice also best fits Dave Mustaine's voice on this song, and most Snowyt songs. This song also shows the diversity in the song structure, at about two minutes in the song, the beat changes into a more Madien like sound, and then follows with brilliant backing vocals from Wayne and Erik.

Overall this demo is pretty good. Some bad sounds once in awhile, but what can you expect from a home made product like this? If Snowyt releases more albums like this in the future, then expect Snowyt to go far in the metal scene.
