Review:
Chimpgrinder
and Miscegenator team up for this violent slab of
Sludge/Doom/Punk/Stoner Metal 7inch record. There’s a lot of fun to
be had despite the short running time. Both bands offer 6 mins of new
music and each band brings their own take on all things HEAVY.
Chimpgrinder
will appeal to fans of old-school Mastodon with a few thrash beats to
give their sound a gloomy feel. Opening track – Silver Arcs – is
a short peice but they use the time wisely to create a song that’s
packed full of proggy punk based Doom/Sludge based riffs. The vocals
can be very trippy at times but it’s a great song to open the
record with.
Chimpgrinder’s
second track – Gates – is the best track on the record as it
offers another heavy slice of Sludge/Stoner Riffs with psychedelic
noises being added. It’s another doomy affair with the band showing
what they can do with a longer time-frame to work with. The vocals
are clean based as their lead vocalist – proves his worth with a
highly confident vocal performance. Though it’s the music that
holds your attention as the music will appeal to fans of Down,
Baroness and Mastodon.
Time
for Miscegenator to impress me. Miscegenator offer 6 tracks that are
full of fast-paced Punk/Doom/Sludge almost Grind based riffs. Songs
last from 29 seconds to a more epic 1:34 mins, well its epic for this
band. Miscegenator have written a set of cool tunes to let all your
aggression out to though it would have been great to see the band
offer that little more variety. Then again songs such as Random and
Xactleys don’t mess around as the band go straight for the jugular
and the band doesn’t stop until this violent noise-fest comes to
its natural conclusion.
Chimpgrinder
& Miscegenator 7inch record is a very good record indeed. If you
haven’t heard of these guys then this is the perfect way for the
band to introduce themselves to you. The production is first-rate
through out. I do want to hear longer releases from both bands and
hopefully both bands will release a proper record in the near future.
