Twists and turns... 3/5
There have been 3 piece rock bands out in the world today that have blown people’s minds away – take ‘The Jimi Hendrix Experience’ for example. For ‘Crisis of Confidence’, who are labelled as the ‘The least metal looking metal band at every venue we play!’ Metal has just proved that it does really need to have a formula to be successful.
The 5 track EP 'Revelation’ starts off with the oddly named track of ‘Sandwich’, which has an awesome guitar part in it supplied by the bands vocalist and lead guitarist Luke, but the dryness of the rhythm section just makes the drums sound like a flailing mess, until it works out into the breakdown at the end, where the drummer sounds as though he finally has a purpose in life. With mistakes rectified after that track, the band finds a firm grip with an all-out assault on “First Song (A song about Death)”, whilst sticking to the cliché metal phrases of Death and Whatnot in Metal today. Following the rather pointless “Interlude”, the funky groove track of “Saviour” emerges, which shows the teamwork of bassist and drummer Doug and Dave, with a rather sinister chorus and harmonic guitar part. The final title track “Crisis of Confidence”is the definite standout for me. No, it’s not because it’s the last track, nor that it’s an EP I want over and done with, it’s because it’s one of those epically grand tracks of a solid eight minutes that captures the raw aggression of metal and just wants to make you jump like a crazy person, especially during Dave’s crazy double bass work, before progressing into a nice clean section to round things up.
Overall, a rather standard EP that has been released by the York/Sheffield trio, but they get the seriousness of the tracks together, they could one day perhaps get an EP together to show everyone how things should be done.
