Snakehole - Snakehole EP

Review by Tonya J. Lynch

Snakehole's self-titled album, Snakehole, is a dark, brooding collection of tracks that showcase the band's talent for creating haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes.

The album opens with "The Problem", a slow burn of a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The vocals are raw and emotional, and the instrumentation is sparse, with the occasional burst of distorted guitar adding to the overall sense of unease.

"Interludes" is a standout track, with its hypnotic bassline and eerie, whispered vocals. It's a song that demands to be listened to with headphones, as the subtle nuances of the instrumentation are easily missed otherwise.

Other highlights include "Serpent's Breath", a track that builds slowly and steadily to a cathartic climax, and "Black Betty", a cover of the classic Lead Belly song that Snakehole turns into a haunting, atmospheric dirge.
