With their technical abilities on the instrumentals on this release, they created a sound that is full and powerful, even though it is created by only two men.
With the tracks on the album ranging from 3 minutes in length to almost 16 minutes, the two-piece atmospheric progressive melodeath metal band from Long Island, N.Y., created a concept album to end all concept albums.
With a unique blend of clean guitars and acoustics, slammed with furious metal riffs and brutal vocals, this release gave me something different from the genre and that is why I was able to write this review. The Long Road Home from Iapetus was a journey into musical composition more than it was having my eardrums pounded for an hour, which most of the time is the outcome when I listen to such music. I have always found it hard to keep my attention when I can’t even understand the lyrics to the songs and if you have read any of my reviews in the past you know that lyrical content is important to me when it comes to writing these reviews, but what if there was a band that changed my views on death metal and melodeath metal? Well, lucky for us all there is such a band and they blew my mind. The way in which they can cohesively compose music that includes heaviest of heavy and melodic moments is one of the reasons fans flock to their sound.I’ll be the first to admit it when it comes to listening to death metal, I find more strikes than home runs. During the formation of the band their goal was to combine the styles of hard-hitting, heavy breakdowns and poppy choruses to create a sound that many listeners can enjoy. The group is made up of 5 musicians who have a passion for music, and the chemistry within the band can be easily heard throughout their music. Call It Home boast a classic pairing of clean and harsh vocals. The once local band is now becoming more known around the county. The band are hard workers and have quickly built a huge following thanks to their energetic stage presence and unique sound. The band has been playing iconic venues around the area like Revolution Bar, Webster Hall and even Andrew WK’s co-owned venue Santos Party House.

Car Bomb has definitely gotten some high recognition having played shows with the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan, Gojira, Meshuggah, Ion Dissonance, and Ulcerate. They build their own equipment which allows them to create a sound exactly how they want it. Impressively, the band has managed to keep the same lineup throughout all these years.
Soon, two members from each band decided it was time for something new and Car Bomb was formed as a side project in 2002. The forming of the band started as early as 2000 when two New York bands Neck and Spooge shared a studio together. The band has a very raw, but technologically advanced sound that very few bands have perfected. The experimental mathcore band from Long Island released what was widely considered one of the best released of 2016 in metal with ‘Meta’. If you’ve been keeping up with the heavy music scene, you’d know that Car Bomb is about to take it by storm. *This is part of our State Of The Art series, showcasing bands every Monday from the featured State*
