Apparently these Seattle noisemongers have already been around for a while, yet their self-titled EP is the first thing I’ve heard of them. It’s a good introduction though that comes with a production job by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis,…) and that is being released on the label of a member of Therapy?. With big names come big expectations of course. Yet Nazca Lines have no problem whatsoever living up to those.
Opener “This Crippled Devil” has more than a couple of things in common with post-hardcore legends At The Drive-In, “This Little Island” comes at you with a Fugazi vibe and “From The Bottom Of A Crevasse” is a more catchy song that just keep on building up more and more energy before taking off.
These guys are out to prove that post-hardcore isn’t lost on us just yet and they already have me looking out for their full-length which is scheduled for later this year.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
