Swamp Thief - I (CD)

Swamp Thief's debut EP, I, is a collection of four heavy rock tracks that blend elements of stoner rock, doom metal, and sludge metal. The album was released in 2020 by The Swamp Records.

The EP opens with the title track, "I," which is a slow-burning, heavy riff-fest. The vocals are guttural and the drums are thunderous, creating a dense and oppressive atmosphere. The second track, "The Swamp," is even slower and heavier, with a funeral doom-like feel. The vocals are even more guttural on this track, and the guitar work is even more distorted.

The third track, "Crawling," is a bit more upbeat, but it still retains the heavy, sludgy sound of the previous two tracks. The vocals are more melodic on this track, but they are still delivered with a lot of intensity. The final track, "The Maw," is the longest track on the EP, and it is also the most experimental. The song features a variety of different tempos and styles, from slow, heavy passages to more upbeat, psychedelic sections.

Overall, I is a solid debut EP from Swamp Thief. The band's sound is heavy and oppressive, but it is also melodic and catchy. If you are a fan of stoner rock, doom metal, or sludge metal, then you should definitely check out this EP.
