Review
Fans of blackened hardcore, listen up! Salz, a solo act from Germany have released their first EP, and it’s very good!
It’s very rare to find a release where everything is unforgettable, but ‘Allein’ is one of those productions. Full of musicality, with a nice and complex composition which shows artistic maturity, their songs are deeply engaging. In the matter of 4 songs, Salz manages to showcase a huge variety of skills, tones and music from different backgrounds: punk, hardcore, black metal, and the lead guitar melodies from metalcore.
We especially liked how the guitars would dialogue, with the lead guitar paving the way to the song, the rhythm guitar following and complementing. No instrument is left behind, no bland, emotionless composition. With a single EP, they have reached a maturity, a complexity, and an identity that many bands would take years to find!
Salz has really brought out all their skills to offer us an excellent EP that can be listened to over and over again.
