“The Vultures EP is the début offering from a very young Reykjavík band, Muck, whose members barely seem to have left their teens – at least judging by their appearance, because the first evil-downtuned chords of Vultures display that this is serious music, not about playing around childishly. Although Muck share a lot of folks’ passion for slow, heavy, crawling hardcore music, they add something very special to the mix: Muck flavour their sound with a pinch of crust and thus call to mind bands like Dystopia or His Hero is Gone. This is also due to the throaty singing and the epic melodies that lie beneath the surface of Muck's concrete riffing. The combination of this all makes Vultures a very dark debut EP and leaves you aching for more from these guys. ”

“Expect a good amount of hammer-on/pull-off runs and all kinds of discordant chord phrasings that allow them to effectively fluctuate between pulsing rhythms and much more frenetic fare – all fronted by that blown-out vocal style that sounds like the dude's just obliterating his throat with truly strained, howling screams. The whole thing flies past in a mere 10-and-a-half minutes, and the more I listen to it, the more I want to hear from these guys. Hopefully a full-length's in the works!”
