Sayyadina - The Great Northern Revisited
Review by Dallas Jordan
Sayyadina's album, The Great Northern Revisited, is an intense and unrelenting journey through the depths of grindcore. The band's signature sound is on full display, with pummeling drums, razor-sharp guitars, and guttural vocals that cut through the mix like a chainsaw.
The album opens with the furious blast of "The Great Northern Key", which sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the band launches into a series of blistering tracks, each one more brutal than the last. "The Vultures Are Waiting" is a standout, with its churning riffs and frenzied tempo changes.
Despite the unrelenting ferocity of the music, there's a sense of precision and control that runs throughout the album. The band never loses sight of their goal, delivering a tightly crafted set of songs that never overstay their welcome.
The production is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal perfectly balanced in the mix. The guitars have a razor-sharp edge, the drums are thunderous, and the vocals are raw and powerful.
