Bismut
is a pretty new Dutch band featuring Peter, Hulbert and Nick. The album is 4 pretty long pieces (between
8-14mins in length) of pretty jammed out and improvised stoner rock. It was all recorded live in the studio with
no edits in April 2018. Side A starts off with a pretty slow, stoney track but
mostly it a long lead guitar jam with the other guys following along for nearly
the first half of the song and then they kick into a riff and groove and off we
go. The guitar goes off into sound
effect mode briefly towards the end of the track while the drums and bass keep
it moving forward. Stórborg is next and a more heavy riff oriented track with a
sort of menacing song that keeps you a bit on the edge, as I felt the track
might just really explode but it didn’t. Side B starts with Gewapende Magte.
This track is a monster with some really cool and fast guitar work but also
hypnotic. I was drawn in. The riffing is
intense and heavy at the end. Very metallic and aggressive. Glad no one is
screaming at me!! Czar continues the intensity for another 9min powerful track.
The riffing is really intense and the drums and bass just keep it simple. Give this album several goes if you don't get it right away. I was really drawn in after a few listens and dug this a lot.
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..
