Death Sells - Death Sells

Following last year’s debut single “Cold Heat”, the Dutch band Death Sells are back with their eponymous debut EP.   They kick things off with “Confusion”, which was the EP’s first single.  It's loud, aggressive noise rock with a raw punk energy, that does a great job of relaying a sense of panic through its intensity and Michaela Nitsotoli’s vocals.  “Dark Gloves” is up next and while it’s a heavy rocker, the hypnotic, swirling guitars and pop hooks will have you bopping your head uncontrollably.  Shifting in the complete opposite direction, “Cool Homicide” is a slow, dark and extremely intense tune about a woman who kills her boyfriend after he cheats on her, bringing to mind elements of bands like Black Sabbath and Type O Negative.  Opening with a thumping bass that continues throughout the track, “MF” is raw, out of control noisy punk.  Next up is “Despair”, a pummeling blast of explosive noise interspersed with taut, almost introspective sections punctuated by short guitar blasts and near spoken word vocals.  Rounding out the EP is “State Of Mind”, which once again brings out the band’s more melodic side, but with a dizzying, high intensity drive.  If you like your music loud, raw and intense, but with a side of melody, then Death Sells may be just what you need.
