Review | |||||||
It’s been nearly 10 years since I reviewed Primordial’s Where Greater Men Have Fallen, and when 2023’s How It Ends dropped into my review queue, I figured I’d give them another listen. I found Where Greater Men... heavy and epic but otherwise uninspiring, and nothing on How It Ends changes that opinion. The thick, doomy riffs boom out of the speakers, but none grabbed me, while the clear vocals sounded even more screamy than I remember. There’s a bit of trippy psychedelia here and there as well, which I found odd. Mostly, How It Ends reminds me of Monsterworks and their middle-of-the-road catalog. I may again be on something of an island when it comes to this band, but if I want big, epic riffs, give me Solstice or Atlantean Kodex. See below for more reviews... ↓ |
