The Swedish hardcore Metal/Punk group Myrah and their recent album, "Six Feet Down," is a collection of hard hitting songs with an overall hefty and dense sound that also contains subtle expressive dynamics. "The Cold" is a fierce number with an intense double-bass drum holding the beat as escalating guitars wail, yet the lyrics remain comprehensible and somewhat reserved. The title track, "Six Feet Down," is an impressive number that begins with a strong and solid vocalist and accompanying piano before climaxing into a thumping rock song with string highlights and bellowing guitars. "Oceans of Time" is a number that contemplates some of life's darker issues in a song that is both unhurried yet aggressive while the instruments give way to the mysterious tonality. This is an album in which true hardcore Metal/Punk music is being played, yet with more introspective and perceptible messages and lyrics. Fans of Iron Maiden and older Metallica would do themselves a favor by listening to Myrah's "Six Feet Down."
