Kerretta




Kerretta has always been one of those bands that if I had to define a specific genre for them, I would have certain difficulty. They take elements of post-rock, post-metal and small elements of sludge-metal with a dark tone. This is one of those bands where genres are irrelevant, you just need to listen. To be honest, genres can be an unfair way to judge any band but that is topic that can be debated until the end of time.

I have always used Kerretta as my warm-up to study band because the music would actively get my brain thinking and active. In some cases I would play Kerretta after a nap or waking up in the morning. With catchy hooks, the brain has something to latch onto with a particular flow; this is probably the catchiest artist I will post about. I would usually use Kerretta in connection to Emancipator while groups such as Massive Attack and God is an Astronaut have replaced Emancipator at times depending on the assignment. Kerretta is one of the band my father told me about, and man am I happy about that; made 4th year easier to get through.
