EP Review
This Distance - The Reality The PerfectionThis Distance – The Reality The Perfection

This Distance are another band from South Wales who are aiming for big things, but unlike all the other bands that have come out of Wales in recent times This Distance are hardcore to the max, they have a big rifftastic sound that is so different from the crop of South Wales based bands that have recently made it in to the mainstream.

The band have just released their new 6 track EP ‘The Reality The Perfection’, the EP only runs for 18 minutes and 2 seconds but every second of it is breathtaking, just listen to instrumental opening track to the EP, and tell me that the riffs and general heavy instrumental work does not get you excited well if it doesn’t the next track ‘Fallen’ sure will with its brutal metal riffs, screamy vocals, and moments of pure melody, instrumentally the song is quite technical and This Distance pull everything off with perfection.

The third track ‘From The shores’ is another instrumental track, but is a lot different from the first track in the way that its actually quite mellow, there are now big meaty guitar riffs or pulsing drumming here unlike the first instrumental track, in fact ‘From The Shores’ is quite a smooth sounding instrumental with some twangy guitar work.

The other three tracks on the EP are quite similar to track two with the way that its full of meaty guitar riffs, constant marching band style drumming, gruff sounding vocals and the odd bit of melody, instrumentally This Distance rock, they have proved that they mean business in the Hardcore/Metal-core scene and have already supported some massive bands and if that continues to happen then the future is very bright for this young 5 piece.

4/5
