Sleeping by the Riverside / Carry the Dead
Sleeping By The Riverside / Carry The Dead
Reviewed by David Bixler
This split CD starts with an amazing emo-influenced hardcore track by Sleeping by the Riverside. Their remaining 4 tracks are pretty much in the hardcore vein a la Strongarm, but with more of an emo influence - all very well-played. The remaining 4 tracks are played by Carry the Dead. This stuff is different. It's pretty much hardcore with 2 voices that either trade off or sometimes gang shout - one primarily screamy hardcore, and the other shrieky black metal type vocals. There is even some deathy vocals in some songs. This is very eclectic-sounding hardcore. Overall, this is a pretty good CD. For ordering info, write: Takehold Records, PO Box 19831, Birmingham AL 35219
