HIGH REEPER
HIGHER REEPER (SPLATTER) (HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS)
High Reeper is back with their second release Higher Reeper and they aren't fucking around. The sound and smell of leather, weed and death now has a hint of Campari and cocaine to color all eight tracks.
With the addition of their new drummer Justin Di Pinto, High Reeper has managed to focus their sound and expand it at the same time.
The record is darker and heavier than their first offering with guitars that crush you like a tank and lyrics that paint a picture of the world nearing its end.
While the sound of Higher Reeper is more focused, at the same time it manages to be more complex and varied.
With tracks ranging from ones as heavy as the album opener, "Eternal Leviathan", to the ethereal ballad "Apocalypse Hymn", this LP will take you all the way to hell and leave you there to rot.
Once again produced, engineered and mixed by bass player Shane Trimble at TTR studios and Delwood Sound and mastered by Mike Tarsia.
Solomacello created the incredible cover that captures the mood of the record while giving a nod to classic heavy metal.
