Dogs For Breakfast/The Sun Left These Places/Subsound Records/2013 CD Review

  Dogs  For  Breakfast  are  a  band  from  Italy  that  plays  a  mixture  of  noise  rock  and  sludge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "The  Sun  Left  These  Places"  which  was  released  by  Subsound  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present on  this  recording,  while the  synths  bring  a  dark  and  avant  garde  sound  to  the  recording,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  sludge  and  noise  rock  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  some  punk  influences  and  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  noise  rock  style  screams  and  shouts  along  with  some  sludge  elements  being thrown  into the  vocals  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  parts,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on t his  recording  with  a  couple  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.  

  In  my  opinion  Dogs  For  Breakfast  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  noise  rock  and  sludge  and  if  you  are a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "January"  "Father  Sea"  "Tsaatan"  and  "The  Chariot  of  Death".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
