OK, after reviewing the EP from this band, ‘45rpm,’ I now move on to their latest album – and this is also a fine display of tunes that are sure to get your juices pumping and your body moving. There are 18 tracks here and every single one of them is packed with its own individual juiciness – they haven’t spent too much time in the sun – these tunes are just ripe and ready for you to take a big old bite out of them!
I enjoyed listening to this release because the band have a hell of a lot of style and it really comes across well in the album, as it did in the EP as well. Track 6, ‘Vitriolic HSF’ was originally written by the legendary Earthtone9, but courtesy of Copro Records has appeared on this release and my, do they pull it off well. I am sure that Earthtone9 would have been pleased to have recorded this song as the band really do it well and do the song justice. If it didn’t say that it was originally written by Earthtone9 then you really wouldn’t have known as it is pulled off really well and you would have just thought it was another one of the bands own songs. It is one of my favourite songs on this CD however as it is pure genius. I also love ‘Little Miss Naughty’ as in this one they let off much steam with loads of aggression and you can tell that they really mean it and are putting their hearts into it all. Again there is good use of samples and it all fits together really well in order to create a truly awesome track that is really worth hearing if you get a chance to. Track 11, ‘Head Of David’ totally blew me away with its rampant vocals of dark metal, eerie bass lines and lightning fast drumming. It is a key track on the CD and coming in the middle really leaves you wanting to hear the second half of the CD and keep on listening. This band are totally amazing – everything about them blows you away from the insane drumming to the fiery bass lines, to the whirlwind guitars, and to the aggressive yet melodic vocals it grabs your attention and stirs up your insides with its aggression yet captures you heart with its melodicity.
If you like music that is raw, aggressive, and contains some seriously sweet sampling then check the band out as they will definitely not disappoint – you could easily catch a shark with the guitar hooks for instance and they are really worth experiencing for yourself so stop wasting time and get out there and buy this record!
