Hold Me Down are a band from Virginia that plays a mixture of harsh noise, power electronics and post industrial with some touches of black and industrial metal and this is a review of their self titled 2019 demo which was released by Sentient Ruin Laboratories.
loud power electronics start off the demo along with some elements of post industrial and programmed beats a few seconds later. Harsh noises can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording and after the intro heavy guitars start making their presence known on the recording.
Elements of early 90's era industrial metal can also be heard in the heavier sections of the demo along with some spoken word samples also be added into certain sections of the recording. High pitched black metal screams can also be heard briefly and some tracks are more rooted in industrial and noise than metal.
Hold Me Down plays a musical style that takes power electronics, harsh noise, post industrial, black and industrial metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover dystopian themes.
In my opinion Hold Me Down are a very great sounding mixture of harsh noise, power electronics and post industrial with some elements of black and industrial metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Strapped" and "Holy Failure". 8 out of 10.
