9 REALMS
Review by Metallic Barbie

Equal parts energizer and headbanger, I was immediately captivated by Virginia’s 9 Realms’ recent release “Mynd”, a track that could easily catapult them to the top of metalhead playlists.  Meshing double kicks with intricate licks, heavy-groove basslines and girthy, rallying, dirty-assvocals, 9 Realms has found a formula that can straddle the intricate sand lines drawn by sub-genre metal enthusiasts.  Punchy, thrashy, death-y, with an unmistakable nod to a dark, almost bluesy underbelly riddled with aggression, the quintet blasts their way through almost 5 minutes of ear-fuckery you’ll gladly invite again and again and again…

Expose yourself to the killer track here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2O0SrHl2WU and check them out on bandcamp at https://9realms.bandcamp.com/ where you’ll find links to all social media – horns up, breaknecks, and mosh on, metalheads!
