The Black Widow's Project/Heavy Heart/2013 CD Review


  The  Black  Widow's  Project  are  a  band  from  Switzerland  that  plays  a  mixture  of  stoner  rock,  metal  and  grunge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2013  album "Heavy  Heart".

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  no  blast  beats  being  present  on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

 Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  stoner  rock,  metal  and  grunge  together  to  create  a  sound  of t heir  own  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  stoner  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  used  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  bring  a  classic  rock  feeling  to  the  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean  singing  stoner  rock vocals  with  some  screams  being  utilized  at  times  as  well  as  some  spoken  word  parts,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording.

  In  my  opinion  The  Black  Widow's  Project  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  stoner  rock,  grunge  and  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  of  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Devil'[s  Waiting  For  Us  To  Fail"  "The  5th"  "Got  The  Devil"  and  "Night's  Damp".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
