EP Review: Lauren Babic – Too Much and Never Enough (Self Released)

Lauren Babic, the dynamite metalcore/heavy rock vocalist/musician will release her debut solo EP, ‘Too Much and Never Enough’ on March 28th. Famed for her covers that have garnered her millions of followers and hundreds of millions of views, as well as her roles in the bands Red Handed Denial and international supergroups CrazyEightyEight and SKYLIMIT, this EP is the start of a brand-new chapter for the artist.

Lauren Babic has the Midas touch, and to the surprise of no-one who has come across her extensive work before, this new EP is solid gold too. Featuring four big showcases of varied and anthemic modern metalcore heaviness dominated by her immense vocals, be them clean or harsh. Something that Sanctuary showcases with aplomb. There may not be anything particularly fresh here but who in their right mind is going to complain about hearing infectious intensity like this?

Ditto for Breathe You In and I’m Bored.

With the former’s melodies allowing Babic’s softer, cleaner vocals to stand out. It’s a layered track too, but once again delivers a powerful chorus. Whereas the latter is eye-wateringly fast and heavy, with Babic spitting fire and the band behind her playing out of their skins. If you want savagery, this is the track for that, and it slays.

Does it get any better than the latter? Not quite, but the finale of Let It Die is damn good too. Babic ending her impressive solo debut EP with razor sharp riffs, bone-crushing drumming, and garish vocal scrams and roars. It’s another mighty heavy track, but with melodic twists and turns, and of course, a chorus that soars.

Boom. Mic drop from Lauren Babic.
