Black Spy have been around for about
6 years in Finland but this is their first official CD release. The band features Antti (guitar, synth, sax
and vocals), Eetu on bass and Toke on drums. The CD features 6 tracks of
frantic rock and roll and starts off with a fast paced number called Fade Away,
Get to Know is even faster and a bit distorted angry and more punky. Intense
stuff. There is some crazy stuff mixed into the background as well. In my Head
slows things to a mid pace with more emphasis on the singing and lyrics. The
track still has this dissonant quality to it and the first with a guitar solo,
noisy like early Melvins or Nirvana. I really like the bass lines on this
track. There is some acoustic guitar at the end mixed in with a more noisy one
as the intensity really builds at the end. You got Me is a very short track
only 1:20 in length and quite aggressive. The Wave feature Antti with an
attacking vocal. The synth is quite creepy in this track. Quite political
lyrics. A bit of saxophone is thrown into the mix for good measure and noise. Let
it out is the final track on this EP and starts slow and spacey before a cool
guitar comes in with a nice riff and heavy bass line. Just before 90 seconds
the track kicks in with some real energy. Intense vocals at the end of this
quite long track over 9 mins long. These guys for sure dream of noise!!! It must be a quite intense band live. Check
them out….
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..
