Endast – “Black Cloud” [Album Review]
Has anyone seen a really big bearded man rocking venues across Canada, maybe drunk on Jagermeister? If you know who I’m talking about then you’ve most likely seen the Montreal, QC group Endast with their hard-to-miss vocalist Big James Arsenian. This guy may look scary, but he’s in fact a really nice – I met him at Heavy MTL 2012 and he gave me a copy of their third full-length, Black Cloud.

Black Clouds is full of loud, heavy metalcore with aggressively shouted vocals overlaying both thrashing and melodic guitar riffs, and on occasion you’ll hear a nifty guitar solo. The music slows down for the song “Blue Skies” but it’s a nice, clean bridge/break in the album. Endast sticks to similar formula for each song, but overall the music kicks ass. I highly encourage metal fans to check out these Canadians; I can see them going places.
