I really dig the concept and idea when bands do not have a vocalist and they let the music shine. Zonderhoof is one of those bands that follow this ethos. They are Ukrainian transplants, now living in Wales in the U.K. Their demo is comprised of three songs and clocks in at around 17 minutes. There are obvious influences such as the Melvins and Black Sabbath. Good production, with a big, full sound. The guitars are thick and heavy, and the drumming was all over the place. They are a tight band. Overall, the demo sounded pretty haunting at times. There seemed to be this whole sense of uneasiness. There are instrumental bands out there such as Pelican and Dysrhythmia that are able to make their mark. If Zonderhoof keep plugging along they’ll find their audience.
