I did not hear the bands last CD (Superautobahn)
but recently got this one (thanks Niko) when I was in Croatia for the first
time. It was released earlier this year on the Sulatron label in Germany. IN
starts the record off with a some spacey voice and then kicks into the main
melodic riff that the track is built on when they repeat as the intensity
builds. . Next is the long title track AUM and this is really an amazing track
with some killer guitar playing. In the middle a sort of like vocal drone
section takes your attention away before it really builds up again and Niko
just rips it up big time on the guitar. It goes through a lot more changes in
this really complex track and ends with the vocal ommmmmmm. Wow. Side B starts with In, a noisy spacey
loud mildly violent feedback drenched drone.. This leads into the very uptempo
track, Rock ist Krieg. It has a very complex rhythm and dynamic and then it
breaks out into some really intense guitar soloing and then the next section
the drummer and bass player lay down this super powerful stuff and Niko spaces
out with a slide guitar section and back out into a powerful riff that is
repeated and then it has a slow painful death. Out starts with a lead guitar
riff that is repeated over and over again and there is a like distant vocal
ethereal vocal melody that makes it pretty psychedelic and trippy. The guitar
line evolves slightly over time. Seven that Spells does it again with a damn
cool record with some new fresh blood including an American bass player named
Jeremy White.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
