This
is a totally new band for me. I just read a description and thought it sounded
cool so I ordered it. The band have a very raw, low fi, nasty sound but play
just heavy rock in the Sabbath worship vein. The title track starts off side A
is very Black Sabbath inspired (the singing) but the sound is way too low fi
and gritty for Sabbath. Cool guitar riff drives the track but sadly no guitar
solo at all. Yrtnuog S’natas, is the same song as the A side spelled and played
backwards…… what a complete waste that is? I have no interest in listening to
this. Overall, I would not recommend this 7”. The band has a cool sound but no
solos, and they need some more ideas, clearly.
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..
