Strap in, Jackal Twins’s latest is a ferocious, twisted alt-metal experience, ‘Harbor Delirium’

As the opening track from their full-length album, ‘Cuzco’, Jackal Twins go all out in creating an intensely dark, demented atmosphere right off the bat. The tracks opens like the soundtrack to a twisted horror film; water droplets and ominous notes paint an incredibly tense atmosphere, just waiting to explode.

And then it does. with unbridled aggression & ruthlessness. Jackal Twins have arrived. Thrashing drums and lightning sharp riffs, catching you completely off guard. There’s no keeping tempo to this one. It’s electrifying and chaotic but impeccably controlled. This is a group at the peak of their metal powers,, and it shows in their precise coordination and execution. The vocals, multiple layers, growl-like unhinged beats backed by equally manic arrangements.

At close to 6 minutes, this track is a precarious journey in itself. The lyrics cover graphic themes of violence, self-harm, obsession and madness. After 4 minutes of intense, intense thrashing, screaming and growling, it incredibly transitions to end with a soft, soulful section, very Opeth-esque.  The band shows remarkable versatility and balance through this track and its a remarkable introduction for the lsitener to their sound, making you want to definitely check out the next track.

For listeners of extreme thrash metal, hardcore metal, this will have an appeal. Jackal Twins have created something truly electrifying, terrifying and deeply compelling and its excities to hear what else this eclectic group is capable of.
