Goat - Live Ballroom Ritual

With only the 2012 release "World Music' under their belt,

why should you bother with this live album?

Because it is the voodoo spawn of the devil. 

This came out in December, too late for my best of the year list
but by the power of Greyskull, Goat should of been on there.

If you are after fuzzed out Psych Afro-beat crossed with Blue Cheer
and Santana, this is the place to come to.

African/Rock drumming drive the songs along with a hypnotic beat,
the rhythm becoming almost another instrument. The tracks are
stretched out and sound almost like a band on the verge of jamming
for the sheer joy of playing........ something I fully endorse!

Non-western musical scales are unleashed through distortion pedals
and wild wah-wah solos take this from blissed out trance music
to proto-Sabbath bursts of amp cranked mayhem.

The female vocals start off pretty identical to their studio recordings
but as the set progresses, they start to sound unhinged, unearthly
and just plain insane.

This is a groovetrip with power chords that make you dance
and head nod at the same time.

Music of excellence!

Fangs Of The Molossus - S/T

Hailing from Italy, Fangs of The Molossus play a heavy blend
of Psych/Doom with a big dose of heaviness thrown in.

Big distorted riffs are hurled through the air complete with
dirty sounding wah-wahs that straight away make you feel
at home. Clean vocals are buried in the mix, giving them a
claustrophobic feel that envelops the listener.

The solos are quite low on distortion meaning you can hear
them over the eerie drones and massive wall of noise that are
pounding away.

The harshness is sometimes offset by song passages that
seem almost organic and have a live jam quality to them
which flows effortlessly along.

Dark atmosperics are created by soundclips and sparing use
of some keyboards but the overall tone is heavy, dark and
mournful.

Sure, these guys obviously love Sabbath and Electric Wizard -
guess what, so do I - stop fucking around crying about genres
and get hold of this now.
