Review:
One
of Poland's finest Stoner Rock/Metal bands – Major Kong – return
with their stunning new EP – Galactic Cannibalism. Major Kong have
been releasing a string of acclaimed releases over the last 5 years
now and Galactic Cannibalism is no different.
Major
Kong offer 4 instrumental tracks of finely tuned Doom/Stoner Metal
songs packed full of too many great riffs to mention. You should all
know who Major Kong are, if you don't get with the program and check
out the superb opening track – Supercluster. A sprawling psych
based monster that will have you hooked with is continuous use of
creepy doomy distorted violent riffs.
Second
track – Diabolic Mind Control – sees Major Kong create a song
drenched in loud reverb and feedback for perhaps the EP's standout
track. It's deliberately slow-paced but that gives Major Kong the
edge in creating an unsettling atmosphere of doom and gloom
atmospherics.
Third
track – Marlock – continues with the seedy stoner metal torture
as the riffs are down-tuned all the way to hell. Play this one LOUD
and embrace the darkness as Major Kong prove why they are one of
Poland's finest Stoner Rock/Metal bands. It's a very bass-heavy
affair with the guitars stripped back and playing in the background
though the band return to their familiar set sound for the final few
minutes or so.
The
final song – Magnetar – is from their recent vinyl split with
fellow Polish Stoners – Dopelord. It's another fine creepy offering
from Major Kong as they offer more intense down-tuned doomy riffs to
survive from. Major Kong show their psychedelic side on this song as
they unleash some impressive guitar solos to end the EP on an
almighty high.
Major
Kong have released another great record with Galactic Cannibalism.
Sure it doesn't change from their already winning sound though it
does show the world that these guys are one of the best Instrumental
Doom/Stoner Metal bands currently out there.
