LA metalcore act Matriarchs is the brain child of multi-instrumentalist and industrious LA hardcore vet Ben Levi (guitar, drums, production). The band has been quiet since last year when they dropped “Eviscerate,” a ripping single featuring Myke Terry (Bury Your Dead, Volumes). They’ve broken their silence with another single, “Feed,” combining downtuned metalcore with hints of beatdown and instantly-recognizable vocals. Chris Anguiano of enlightened metalcore act DMT lends his vocals to the track.
For the uninitiated, the presence of clean vocals doesn’t mean that Matriarchs have resigned themselves to weak singing or bad metalcore tropes. Instead, it underscores the constant instrumental heaviness and lends the band their recognizable sound. Think classic nü-metal meeds modern metalcore, with enough hardcore influence that you won't feel like you're at Hot Topic circa 1994 (unless you're into that..).
"The writing process was unique in that we (Ben Levi & Chris Anguiano) co-wrote the song and had a theme in mind going in, rather than me just sending him the instrumental and him putting vocals over it. This process definitely helped the song come out sounding focused and mature but with a really hard edge!" - Ben Levi
