An old and mighty steam train is approaching. Slow in its march, but unstoppable! Far from the modern and extreme concept of Death Metal genre, the German duo REAWACAN comes back after releasing the self-titled debut album in 2019. The new EP is called Pandemic Coverage & Old Schooling and it showcases once more the eclectic attitude of the Kassel-based group. With this new release (made of two brand-new tracks and two covers) we still find the distinctive elements of the band's sound like the deep but descriptive growl, and a groove-rich drumming (especially for what concerns the bass drum), but also “new entries” like the fretless bass in the song “Into Proliferation” and the great care of the melodies in “Sad Serenade”.
Pandemic Coverage & Old Schooling results much heavier than the previous release, fitting the desperate and aggressive moods of the current pandemic. With this powerful and unexpected EP, REAWACAN reaffirms its own musical independence and authenticity for what turns out to be one of the most solid metal releases so far this year.
