Description
Fresh and pummeling D beat punk from an international crew based in Texas.
Members of Obstruction, SAGAL, Ninth Circle, etc.
Our take: Desolate Records brings us the debut EP from this new band from Texas. On first listen, Guerra Final made me think of their fellow Texans Vaaska. Like Vaaska, Guerra Final has a locked-in d-beat sound, hoarse and catchy vocals (Guerra Finals vocalist sounds quite similar to Eddie from Vaaska in places), and occasional flare-ups of lead guitar. While I think anyone who loves Vaaska (i.e. people with good taste) will like Guerra Final, they dont sound exactly the same. Guerra Final is a little heavier and crustier, as you might expect from a band on Desolate, and their lead guitar parts tend more toward big, memorable melodies than flashy explosions of hammer-ons. I love that there are seven tracks here, making this weighty EP feel like a full helping rather than just a taste. While Guerra Finals passion and power are undeniable, the real selling point for me is how infectious the riffs and songs are. Guerra Final strikes me as a band who knows what theyre trying to do and they nail it here.
