Car Bomb are back with the blistering Tiles Whispers Dreams. It’s the band’s first release since 2019 and marks 25 years since the original formation of the metallers.
The EP is in your face from the get go with some interestingly distorted riffs as opener Blindsides grabs you by the arm and throws you into the pit.
The growls throughout are fab, and the cleaner vocals are slightly unexpected but work well to add atmosphere. The track keeps you guessing what’s coming next with its disjointed instrumentation. It’s like the bastard son of Jesus of Suburbia with how it switches between various sonic elements.
The drum fills in Paroxysm are rapid and match the pace of the quick-fire guttural vocal deliveries.
It also has one of the coolest riffs.
I love the bass throughout the titular – and closing track of the EP.
Car Bomb’s latest EP is definitely a piece technical wisdom, becoming a blender full of mind-bending riffs, insane drum fills, funky licks and absolutely filthy bass lines.
The guttural screams and occasional melodic cleans work well over the ever-changing pace of the instrumentation.
If you like your music heavy, but not predictable, then Car Bomb’s Tiles Whispers Dreams is definitely one you should check out.
