Holy mackerel! The four from Norwich, UK called Eat Your Own Head aren’t here to cut bait, they’re here to fish! And on their new four track EP The Trawler they’re shooting fish in a barrel, when it comes to laying down noisy riffs and math like compositions. Metal is the big fish in a small pond filled with grunge, punk and something severely alternative when it comes to all the other influences. Four tracks give you more than fifteen minutes of heaviness that does not flounder. Sludgy by default, the ever changing rhythms are like a red herring always shifting in pace and tempo when you don’t expect them. But that’s what Eat Your Own Head does best, using those math influences to build something intensely noisy, yet also melodic and sometimes even practically catchy. And of course, that’s why you go out on The Trawler, to be catchy, catch, catch some huge fish. And this is so massive, it will leave you stunned like a mullet!
