Description
“ Eye Flys brings together the minds of four musicians known fortheir work in some of the most extreme, blistering bands today.The quartet was initially started by Full Of Hell guitarist SpencerHazard and former Backslider drummer Patrick Forrest as anoutlet to play aggressive music with equal intensity that wouldcontrast the breakneck speeds of their other projects. Afterasking Backslider bassist Jake Smith to join on guitar andvocals and Triac’s Kevin Bernsten on bass, Eye Flys’ potentialfor crafting impossibly heavy songs was solidified.
Eye Flys’ debut ‘Context’ was written and recorded just a fewshort months from the band’s inception, drawing on eachmembers’ considerable experience and driven by theexcitement of playing in uncharted territory. This is an album ofcommanding, lean noise rock absolutely brimming with vitriol.
The direct, raw energy of Eye Flys’ music is simultaneouslymenacing and intoxicating. Drawing immediate comparisons tobands like Unsane, Cherubs and The Melvins (where they taketheir name), the quartet’s bludgeoning sound is underpinnedby a razor sharp edge. Smith’s vicious lyrics are paralleled byhis unrelenting barks with passages like the opening of‘Weaponize’ literally spat through grinding teeth. Their taut,muscular riffing and pummelling drums lay atop a foundation ofdeceptively intricate arrangements.
Eye Flys’ ‘Context’ stands as a testament to its members’abilities to produce music that is as ferocious as it is addictive.In just six songs Eye Flys not only prove their place amongtheir peers but stand out as a force of sheer, immovablepower.
