SINGLE REVIEW: Katahdin - "Separation"
Written By: Jasmine C. Jones
Reigning from Portland, ME, Katahdin is an up and coming hardcore band that combines their heavy sound with their northeastern culture. Formerly known under the name Hallowell, the boys in Katahdin (Max Calkins, Lukas Gill, Robby Mabry, and Kaleb Lorrain) have come back with a brand new identity and are coming out strong with their debut single “Separation”. The track stems from a place of pain for vocalist Max Calkins, as the lyrics discuss going through losing someone you love to suicide and being forced to carry on before you can comprehend your own feelings. The tone is dark, intense and filled with despondency.
“Separation” features blast beats, low guitar chugs, and groovy bass lines. It features breakdowns that are very energetic. The song is really groovy all the way around. It makes you wants to bang your head and go crazy in a pit.
