Kosmograd




Origin:  Toronto, Ontario
Genre:  Metal / Hardcore / Instrumental









Kosmograd is a wicked metal band. They bring a blend of traditional non-sensical metal screaming with powerful undertones and great guitar rhythms. If you are not a fan of screaming vocals then it may be hard to get into this group. But they introduce a good balance between the smooth rhythms and the raw vocals. Unlike some other metal bands they don't overload you with screeching and grunts.

Check out the song "The Owl" and you'll understand what I mean. The song starts out slow and instrumental and leads into metal vocals. Afterwards it cycles between instrumental and screaming portions. Each stage is a slow progression to building up of each song. Note that the posted songs are demos and so are bit rough around the edges.

So if you not a stranger to metal Kosmograd will be right up your alley. But if you are, I recommend you give them a chance and look past the screaming to hear the intricate beats they create.

Seriously not your typical metal band.
