Shattered Pain ep by Shattered Pain

This ep came to our attention through a post on our Facebook wall (yes, we do pay attention). The three songs on their Reverbnation page are of the heavy alternative variety. There is a bit of a modern edge to the music, but not to the point that it sounds like a bland attempt to just follow trends. The grooves are heavy and catchy, the vocals range from smooth singing (male and female) to gruff growl/screams, and the solid rhythm section adds to the music instead of fading into the background. “Come To Me” is a slower ballad-ish song that adds some variety to the other two driving tracks. But as an aging rocker I am glad to say that I found something more modern that I like to listen to. Here is hoping for a full length from this group.
