Earth from Above growl and sneer their way through their live sets, with two studied metal vocalists at the helm; and their shows are just a taste of what will come out of Chris Eck's (Impending Doom) recording studio in January 2009. Josh Cortez and Kevin Walsh front the band with great intensity and dexterity, fluidly dueling death growls and guttural screams. They're backed by the skillful intricacies of Anthony Hernandez, Oscar Mora and Roy Quezada who showcase considerable technique on guitar and bass. The blast beat prowess of Mike Cano provides a solid foundation to carry Earth from Above's zeal for adrenalized metal which comes from influences like All Shall Perish, Living Sacrifice, Acacia Strain, Meshuggah and Falling Cycle.
