Scour

Black EP

Doom

---

Vocals

I thought these vocals were fine until the pig squeals kicked in about half-way through. I actually never would have known that was Phil Anselmo. I like that he is embracing a change, and not staying Pantera-style.

Music

They really used the emergency vehicle sound leading into this song, and I suppose the guitar sounds somewhat like an alarm sounding off in the beginning and near the end of the song. For a short song, they had several changes. Interesting little guitar solo near the end.

Lyrics

Sounds like maybe there is something terrible that someone or something is being vocal about and then another is trying to put it to an end. Conflicting sides.

The revelation doused
The chronicler of doom
The revelation doused
The austere chronicler of doom

One epic excuse
One epic excuse
