Preem Choom are a self-described death metal surf rock band out of Brea, California. They released a new EP earlier this month with the hilarious title, Live Laugh Love Long & Prosper. It’s streaming right now on their Bandcamp.
With only four tracks that are all under two-minutes in length, this EP is short but quite sweet. “Hajimemashite” opens the album on a single, clean guitar chord before immediately launching into the chaotic fun as the death metal elements meld beautifully with the melody and highlight the disjointed, mathy rhythms. Then “We Live in a Society” kicks in with more of a pop-punk style with a rollicking guitar and jaunty rhythm.
“Dying in Sunshine” also has some pop-punk elements, but contrasts them with metal-style vocals that are moved far back in the mix and serve as more of a whispered scream. “Oscuridad Eternamente” then finishes the EP with a more metallic rager with a powerful bass line and rapid-fire drumming that ventures into blast beat territory from time to time. It’s a truly unique EP that you need to experience no matter what genre you listen to.
