Review:
Infinite
Flux is a band I’ve been hearing good things about for a while now.
The band have finally released their S/T debut album and it’s a
hazy and heavy mix of Sludge, Doom and Stoner Metal rhythms that will
appeal to fans of Wo Fat, Elder and rounded off by some serious Matt
Pike riff style worship.
The
album itself is very loud from the start as opening track –
TEOTWAYKI – opens with psych based guitars and heavy pounding drums
building up to a loud volatile atmosphere. The vocals are handled
reasonably well. They’re not the most polished but John’s vocals
match the rough and ready exterior of the whole song.
Infinite
Flux is here to create loud and exciting music and they succeed on
all levels as they create perhaps the albums standout track with the
second track – Solar Sacrifice. An eleven minute epic drenched in
guitar reverb feedback and psych based sounds. It starts off rather
slow but give it time as the band add faster riffs as the song builds
up to a loud volume. The vocals are stunning through out as they hark
back to the days of classic hard rock. Though it’s the riffs that
hold your attention as Infinite Flux gives it their all in creating
an all out psych based assault on the senses.
Third
track – Hangman - has a more Hard Rock/Stoner Metal vibe compared
to the previous tracks. It’s another exciting loud and heavy affair
with the heavy pounding drumming being the main focus here. You can
hear shades of Wo Fat’s swampedelic style riffs but Infinite Flux
create some exciting moments of their own to show you why they demand
your attention.
Other
great tracks to check out are: Ashes, Odin and Prophecy Number Three
as Infinite Flux create many more great moments of Psychedelic Stoner
Metal madness for you to survive from. The album stays incredibly
loud from start to finish and you can’t fault the production as you
can feel every note on the entire album. If these guys sound this
loud on the album I would love to hear them live on stage to see if
they can recreate the loud damage on stage. Though I think they can
especially with the talent involved with the band.
One
minor flaw I have with the album is the lyrical content. There are
some cases the lyrics could have done with extra work especially on
Ashes. Other than that minor complaint Infinite Flux have created an
exciting and action packed album you will be listening to over and
over for the next few weeks or so. Excellent and Highly Recommended.
