Slow
Order is an instrumental four piece from Bologna, Italy. The CD features 7 instrumental tracks of
heavy metal rock and roll. This is the follow up to the bands previous EP
entitled, Pyramid towards Oblivion. Bokor’s
Call opens things up also includes a short slow section with some synth before
heading out with some ripping guitar and then back to some different riffs.
Someone in the band also makes some occasional evil sounding vocalizations that
you can’t quite make out. Crusade of Visigoth continues the heavy slightly more
evil doomy groovy. The mid- section is again spaced out with some double
tracked guitars and synths before returning to the main refrain. Drunken is a
track where I really noticed the intensity of the Ale on the drums. It really
comes across like he pounds the shit out of the drum kit. Garage Anthem starts
off fast and furious and then becomes a bit like Candlemass and then back to
the thrash metal. Wow.. In the Centre of the Sun is another more metallic track
with intense guitar chord sequences and a really spacey ending with some
chanting that leads directly into Pazuzu. By this point, some of the guitar
riffs are starting to sound too much a like. He Dave does throw in a bit
vibrato though on this one and some layers of synth sounds as he uses a cool
effect on his guitar before going back to the well used riffs. Sabbatai Zevi
has the occasional ringing bell to compliment the soundtrack of the end of the
world. Wisdom of the Universe ends this record with some acoustic guitar and a
sort of sitar like drone sound and later a synth drone and some percussion. A
very cool way to come down from this heavy trip.
A mixture of Karma to Burn style
stuff with more riffing metal and a bit doom thrown in with some space parts in
the middle of a few tracks. That pretty much describes the whole record.
