EP review: Melting Eyes – My Final Resting Place (2021)


Melting Eyes – My Final Resting Place

Netherlands

Independent

Melting Eyes is a four-piece hailing from the Netherlands that plays heavy, doom-laden Death Metal and "My Final Resting Place" is the band's debut EP. The music presented here is an all out assault of crushing death/doom that grabs the listener by the throat as soon as the first note kicks in. Each track is full of chugging riffs, pounding mid-tempos and menacing growls. The style may not be particularly unique, but it is still solid material and the execution is pretty tight. The Dutch have always had a penchant for hefty death/doom and Melting Eyes is further proof of that, as "My Final Resting Place" is a solid little EP, well worth your attention. That being said, Melting Eyes is a band to keep an eye out for and comes recommended to fans of bands like Asphyx, Grand Supreme Blood Court, Pentacle, etc. (HT)
