The
Galloping Coroners are back with another record, the first one in ages. I still
remember when my friend Carl got Hammering at the Gates of Nothingness from
Freak Emporium in 1994 and it totally blew us away! The main man from VHK,
Grandpierre has made a few records with the Galloping Wonder Stags but not this
group in quite some time. The musicians are also totally different and only the
bass player remains from the old line up of the band from the 90s. Anyway,
there are 7 long tracks on the record with a lot of spoken and sung words
telling really far out and interesting stories, like North American shaman
stuff mixed with astrophysical universe and reality. Handshake opens the record
is a cool piece with a more folky guitar line and lots of lyrics and is pretty
relaxed. The next two tracks are more
upbeat, Falling into Love and the short The Celebration of Life which is really
fast. Inner Universe finished side A with a more laid back psychedelic feeling
and acoustic guitar to start but then it gains in intensity as towards the end.
Moons towards east is more like the opening track of the first side and is
quite melodic to start but builds up in intensity. Winged Sky is probably my
favourite track on the record as it mixes all the elements of what the band
does best. The Hun Brotherhood ends this record. The music is nearly as wild,
crazy as the past records but it still is really psychedelic as you can’t
really understand what he is going on about with such passion, while the band
plays a mix of folky, tranced out music in the background. Far out stuff from
Hungary! What a surprise to hear another record by these guys. I wonder if they
will tour.
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..
