Trident – Jezebel

Releasedate: 2014; Label: Elitbolaget
By: Sabine van Gameren

Trident is a Finnish formation that formed in 2005. Giving shape to their Hardcore Metal the band released an EP in 2008 and a single the year after but not too much heard of them since. This year we received an EP called: “Jezebel” from their hands.

The band gives us three songs and a wide variety of styles mixed up. Do you hear a bit of Thrash involved while listening to a song like “She Walked Through Darkness”. Never count out the aggression the guys bring it with though, overwhelming and full of dedication.
The second track called “The Dove And The Fire” you could see more punk and hardcore coming to the front. And it slightly contradicts with “Time Was Never On Our Side” which goes a bit more groovy.

Three songs that each have something unique to offer but luckily the band managed to keep them together as well. It is their passion and aggression that speaks in every song and creates the unity in the EP. In fact, it are only three tracks that you are given, but you get to see the band is up to a lot of things, which makes you wonder what to expect next. Let’s see if we hear some more of this band in 2015.
