Whitby Bay are from the UK and play Black Metal.
At only 4:30 this is a very short release, with a raw sound and a rawer temperament.
The first track Unextinguishable Candle is fast and underground, with rasped vocals over razor riffs and blasting drums. They still find room for a small bit of minor melody near the end of the track and even round things off with some deep growling.
The slightly longer second song Black Cape is not as blasting and has more rhythm and, dare I say it, catchiness. Riffs turn unexpectedly and rise/fall in line with the drums. After it descends briefly into noise it returns mid-paced, icily melodic and with a very manageable riff that works well.
Short and to the point, this shows great promise for the future. Ones to keep an eye on I feel.
