HARDWARES

MOTIVE

I Am Today

(Independent)

Reviewed by : Greg Pratt
Rating : 7.5

This Arizona-based band has been around for a while, logging in three full-lengths in the '00s and now following up their self-titled EP from four years back with this new EP. Somehow I love that title, the confidence found all over this six-song affair displayed loud and proud in those three words. The band lay down a bass-heavy thumping thrashing thwomp here, threatening to enter that PANTERA bar-band turf but keeping it simultaneously heavier (I'm thinking Crash Records circa mid-'90s here), tunes like 'Color Blind Rain' (love that title too, actually) grooving but never in a cheap, cloying way. 'Lost On 89' brings to mind ANTHRAX at their most frantic, which is actually pretty refreshing. The main thing working against MOTIVE is the forgettable throaty, yelled vocals, but in the world of metal, there are certainly worse vocalists out there. A nice little EP bringing modern thrash and groove metal an extreme edge, displaying good songwriting skills and a nice love of all things heavy. Motive's I Am Today is available at CDBaby.com.
