█ GereÆs Charlotte the Harlot. Anytime your band █
█ name comes a song title from one of my █
█ historically favorite albums (Iron MaidenÆs █
█ self-titled debut), you have my attention. In the █
█ case of JapanÆs Charlotte the Harlot, there is a █
█ lot of substance behind the reference. █
█ Zero Dimensional was gracious enough to throw in █
█ our direction Charlotte the HarlotÆs recently █
█ released EP, Agamogir our way; 5 tracks of █
█ incredibly fast and skillfully mastered blackened █
█ death metal. █
█ Musically, Charlotte the Harlot seems to be █
█ somewhat of a mixture of black/death metal from █
█ past and present also with hints of traditional █
█ heavy metal. These guys are clearly that diverse. █
█ Two things really stuck out about the production; █
█ 1. the vocal layering û CtH presents a mixture of █
█ high pitch screams and low growls which merged █
█ together make for a really cool effect. The █
█ vocals are spit out like a venomous python. 2. █
█ The dual guitar work. There are moments where █
█ slower guitar parts are laid on top of faster █
█ guitar parts (i.e. single-picked notes played at █
█ about half the speed of the underlying parts.) █
█ There is a good mix of fast/slow parts and █
█ single-note picking. █
█ Ok, one more thingà there are at times where the █
█ music is reminiscent of the thrash metal of the █
█ 90s, specifically the material Noise records was █
█ putting out (i.e. Coroner) or even Kreator. █
█ ThatÆs perfectly fine in my book. █
█ This is an incredibly talented band from a country █
█ and label that deserves more attention. The █
█ talent exhibited by bands from the far east is at █
█ least equal to anywhere else in the world. Make █
█ no mistake about JapanÆs geographic size. █
█ Musically, there is huge talent in the fields of █
█ metal coming out of it. █
