The Review:
Tunguska Mammoth return with their new full length “Breathless”. The album is a riff-heavy nod to bands such as Beastwars and Mastodon. If you dig riff-centric metal music interspersed with triumphant vocal harmonies, this record is for you.
The album opens with a trio of bangers in “Breathless”, “Kings and Queens” and “Phénix”. All the songs are riff-focused, but not over the top to the point of self-indulgent. The amount of restraint witnessed showcases the band’s collective ability of performing as a unit, and serving what is best for the song. It is nice to see the band’s French Canadian roots showcased on the record. Songs like “Le Vent” that are sung in both French and add subtle nuance that few Canadian bands are able to utilize.
The album’s apex comes on “New Sun”. The song is a demolition of riffs and incorporates a melody that would feel right at home on a Torche record. Overall, if you’re looking for a record that is tasteful and well-balanced, Tunguska Mammoth’snew record “Breathless” is ground zero.
