Kaali are a band from Vietnam that plays a blackened form of hardcore and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Echoes Of Decay".
Asian style acoustic guitars start off the ep along with some tribal style percussion before going into a heavier direction. Orchestration is also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and the vocals are mostly blackened metal screams along with the songs also mixing in elements of hardcore.
Clear vocals can also be heard at times while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Growls and shouts are also added into certain sections of the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats, the tracks also bring in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Kaali plays a musical style that takes black metal and modern hardcore with touches of orchestra and Asian folk music and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Kalli are a very decent sounding blackened hardcore band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Spiritless". 7/5 out of 10.
