Keelhaul
Keelhaul is one of those bands that's just a bit different,
for reasons that are hard to put one's finger on,
and so naturally a description of their sound is no easy task.
They're kind of a "semi-instrumental" band (many songs
are instrumental, and even among some that aren't, the
vocals (hardcore-ish, to an extent) are secondary),
they're really heavy, and have kind
of a mean, angry feel, that comes across even without vocals.
The riffs are angular, cutting, and aggressive, but also just a
shade off the beaten path.
The songs aren't terribly complex, but they're not simple
toe-tappers either, and while at times they seem to bash
about mindlessly, there's quite a bit of shade and variety in
the songs.
Again, a hard band to really grasp, but a very intriguing listen.
