Guards - New Flesh (2010)


















This is a real ear-bleeder.

Lightning Bolt come to mind when it first starts
but then Guards take things to a newer horrific
level.

What seems to be pure white noise slowly turns
into hints of tunes, while the instruments sound
like close-miked cement mixers tuned to a major
"A" chord!

I did not think I would like it but as my brains
started to dribble out of my ears, the chaos
seemed to make sense and almost hypnotise me.

Very powerful stuff - not something I will play everyday
but will dip into when feeling brave.

  2. As you have gone over to the dark side, you may not find this as scary as I did!

    Gonna try the Earth album you put up. Have not really liked previous stuff but wtf - it's there to be tried.
