Pack Of Wolves
Featuring the gremlin screams of former At All Cost frontman Trey Ramirez, Austin’s Pack Of Wolves fortunately doesn’t share that band’s taste for trends: There are no melodic concessions to the emo crowd hidden in the blast-beat assaults of its debut,Betrayer—and even better, not a vocoder to be found. It’s just organic, intensely delivered metalcore that’s all the more cutting for its sharp-edged simplicity. The addition of bassist Gabriel Bishop and guitarist Josh Holstein marks a turning point toward greater dissonance and darker subject matter for the Pack, which begins the next chapter of its thrashing, harrowing oeuvre with the vinyl-only Penance Of Pestilence.
