This
could be unlike anything you have ever heard before and if only because it is
not like anything I’ve ever really heard before. It starts as distorted guitar loops, but
quickly finds some drums as well. This.
Is. Heavy.
I’m
digging the energy of this, as it borders on metal ala A Perfect Murder but yet
also manages to bring out the faster paced punk ala Snot. This definitely reminds me of something that
would be either featured on a skateboarding compilation of music or someone
might use this as their soundtrack while competing. It’s one of those “Okay for skaters” types
of metal in that way, which only really means what it means.
The
second side begins like the old ECW theme song, back when they had a show on at
2 in the morning for an hour, and then the vocals come in. I say “vocals”, but it’s not so much lyrics
or screaming even as it seems to be this animalistic, primal growling. It’s
quite interesting in the way that it does sound human, only at the same time it
also does not.
Before
the second side ends, we go back to being instrumental and I can hear Motorhead
coming out as well as some tinges of grunge, which mainly make me think of
earlier Nirvana as well as Mudhoney.
Typically
when I hear instrumental bands, especially of this nature, I wonder what kind
of vocals to put over them in order to decide what they sound like. Do they sing like Eddie Vedder, Kurt Cobain
or Jacob Bannon? For this particularly
cassette though, none of those really make sense and this sounds perfect just
the way that it is.
