Description/Reviews
In March of 2014 the Columbia, SC band took off to record two weeks in Florida at Audiohammer Studios with producer Eyal Levi, a studio and producer fit that couldn’t have been more perfect for the band. Levi’s death metal background and keen ear for music composition falls in line with Trees on Mars carefully constructed and melodically driven songs. Compositions that focus on intricate guitar work that always seems fitting for the song and never in a boastful strutting way.
The first half of the album plays aggressive and precise, with interweaving guitars heavily reliant on melody and structure. It’s this sense of melody that broadens the Trees on Mars audience outside of the metal umbrella. It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re listening through the album and get lost in the pure emotion of it all. They tend to lean away from abrasive and more towards clean and crisp tones and more comfortable western notes.
