Wielding A sound that is equal parts Isis, Helmet and Tool, Merrick are a slightly odd beast, But then they are named after the infamous 'Elephant Man' Joseph Merrick. With a propensity for rolling riffs, eerie guitar harmonies and a mixture of throaty screams and Maynard James Kennan-esque wailing, they aim to make dents in your head, while making you think seriously about how they got there. There's no denying their musical chops and there's some seriously weighty riffs at work.

Just Chromosome is heavy stuff, but not in that faster-louder-more distorted way. Oh no, this is heavy music with subtlety to it. A damned good job for a self-released album - it's rare to find one that manages to mix quality and promise quite as well as this.

Perhaps the biggest compliment that can be paid to Merrick is that they've succeeded where so many have failed and made intelligent sounding metal music. Opening track 'Ten Times' is a stand out track, demonstrating that Merrick are a band with ambitions. There seem to be some clear influences that have shaped the sound of Merrick and it is to their credit that the likes of Deftones and Pitchshifter instantly spring to mind upon first listen. The tracks here show enough ambition to suggest that Merrick could go on to better things, ones to keep an eye out for sure.

4.5 / 5



Merrick play a powerful alternative blend of rock and metal while lyrically and vocally the band have the rocks to lift themselves above the ordinary. The album twists and turns but remains steadfastly heavy as ***k
