Song Review: Holy Reptile- The Land

-

 



Bristol's Psychedelic Three-piece Holy Reptile have released 'The Land', their latest single taken from their upcoming second EP. 

Produced by The Wytches' Kristian Bell, the band reconnects with the true feeling of Psyche music with inspiration from Gothic Literature icons Hunter.S.Thompson, Kathryn Scanlan and Shirley Jackson. 
'The Land' hopes to bring the same bone-chilling and hypnotic feel to tape. The Analogue recording helps identify a dark and crispy tone.

The recurring rhythmic guitar patterns hypnotise the listener over sombre and jagged vocals. The sound is reminiscent of 60's jangly rock with a twist. The track builds up the tempo to an unexpected change in the middle eight. The band suddenly switch gears and let out a ferocious scream to channel the true horror of 'The Land'.
