News: COVE Find Their Way On ‘We Were Once Lost’ -Kent Hardcore Mob Release Debut Mini-Album
Formed at the tail end of 2015, Kent metalcore newcomers COVE, are pleased to unveil their debut release ‘We Were Once Lost’. Discussing the 7-tracker, Vocalist Sam King states: “The EP title is a lyric taken from the track “Found At Last” which is about the beauty of risk taking, which often being in bands involves, whether it be financially or personally. Many of the themes on the songs are personal to us, which makes the process of performing them live cathartic, something we've often felt on the other end having watched bands growing up. Many of us in the band listen to various types of music and draw inspiration from a wide range of genres which we feel is reflected in our music, from technical discordant guitar parts, to softly sung clean vocals.”
Completed by guitarists Ben Braizer and Pete Woolven, Bassist Charlie Smith and Drummer Jac Bowdery, the quintet chose the name COVE in order to steer away from the conventions of the heavy music world: “It means we can sound however we want without tying us down to a genre - and it’s short and sweet,”King declares. But how would they describe their sound as it stands? “We’re all fans of songs that have groove, and for us that is all about a catchy riff that you can nod your head to, but makes you do that “ooooooh” face when you hear it.”
Recorded with producer Oz Craggs at Hidden Track Studios, ‘We Were Once Lost’ sees the Kent mob succeed in their aims of writing “heavy, riffy music, with big choruses that make you grab your friends in the middle of a mosh pit and sing along”. Featuring thudding, muscular grooves and stomp paired with ferocious roars aplenty, COVE’s debut is a post-metalcore powerhouse, evoking Ruin/Hollow Crown era-Architects, whilst also drawing from the gene pools of Defeater and While She Sleeps. Bruising riffs and urgent, desperate screams give way to moments of melodic, textured respite, before plunging back into the abyss again – COVE already leaps and bounds ahead of their would-be peers.
