”The Nine” is the second album from Canadian metallers Harm. Originally released in Europe late in 2009, the album is being re-released to reach a wider audience. The band formed in 2003 and released their debut album in 2008
This is one of those albums that is quite hard to describe. It’s a metal album but there are definite grunge influences here too as well as more modern groove metal influences. The album has a lot of variety which shows lots of different influences (Tool and Queens of the stone ages for instance). Vocally it ranges from clean singing to a more screaming style.
I can imagine these songs sounding pretty damn impressive live – they sound great here on the album, but deserve to be played at deafeningly loud volume to get the most out of them.
An impressive album thats well worth a listen.
