Kill No Albatross – Speak True Evil
Wasting no time on “Seven Tools,” the opening track off
their latest EP Speak True Evil, Kill
No Albatross dive right into chiptune guitar leads, complex time signatures and
animated percussion. Hey, we get it – the EP is only four tracks and only 15
minutes long, so there isn’t really a second to waste here. Speak True Evil combines alt-metal, prog
and mathcore, fronted by vocalist Kyle Collins, who closely resembles former
Systematic and current The Watchers vocalist Tim Narducci. “Apex Predator”
takes a more straight forward approach, buoyed by the album’s strongest hook, the
mild-mannered “Sky on Fire” devolves into maniacal screams from Collins, and
closer “Void” delivers a healthy dose of prog amidst Collins’ most memorable
vocal performance. Speak True Evil goes
by quick, but it leaves a lasting mark.
