Doom Society - Doom Society EP (2002 Self-released)

 

Throwback metal with some 80's styled vocals to boot. Makes sense, as the band features Mike Walish, who sang for Hellhound back in the 80's.  The first half of "Bloodletting" has a pretty blatant Alice In Chains influence, before to transitioning into a metal song. "Freedom" has truly some of the worst lyrics ever. This has flashes of being good, with some decent riffs, and vocals that vary from a Chuck Billy growl to a Steve Grimmett shriek. But the lyrics and decisions like the stop-start chorus on "Fear Of Fear" make it pretty cringe overall.
