Last.fm: Evan Brewer is an American electric bassist. He is currently the bassist of The Faceless and was a former member of Animosity and Reflux.

The metal genre certainly has no shortage of overly skilled guitarists and drummers who garner the majority of the spotlight as bass players continue to get overlooked, but this is all about to change. Sumerian Records is extremely excited to introduce the world to the musical dynamo, Evan Brewer (ex-Reflux, Animosity), whose ground-breaking, innovative bass playing is destined to create a huge impact within the extreme metal genre . Brewer recently joined the Sumerian Record’s family as he was just announced as the new bass player for The Faceless, but Brewer will first showcase his impressive skills and songwriting prowess through his debut solo album, Alone, set for a June 28th release.

This debut offering is a very progressive and unique release, and the first of its kind, as everything you hear on it was created with the bass. Brewer makes a bold statement with this release and undeniably proves that he is one of the genre’s most musically proficient bass players around today. The world hasn’t seen such a forward-thinking metal bass player since the Cliff Burton era.

Overall Sound: an Amazing instrumental album by Evan Brewer who not long ago was signed by Sumerian Records. Evan plays bass currently for “THE FACELESS” which makes this release even more worthy of you checking it out. The overall sound is all bass-guitar the entire album but at times you feel like you’re listening to a guitar/bass album but that is not the case.

Bass:  Evan Brewer obviously has some talent to pull off some of the amazing bass lines he produced within this album. The only thing I truly dislike is that at times the effects used on some tracks like particularly contraband get on my nerves but that’s after 4 listens today. There is not much to say besides it is all bass and he took the time to make every minute worth every cent.

Overall Impression: A must have for any instrumental lover and bassist alike. Absolutely astonishing production and sound and dexterity, nuff said….

Rating:  9.5/10

Marvel at the Talent!
