Review
Fried
Chordata is the 4th
album from Ukrainian Doom/Sludge Metallers Celophys and the first
album that I’ve listened to the band. I didn’t know what to
expect from this album and truth be told I was impressed from the
first riff. As this album is a brutally heavy album that is
influenced by bands such as CONAN, High On Fire and other bands of
that ilk.
Celophys
standout from the Doom/Sludge Metal crowd as they’re quite brave
with their music. As the album is quite aggressive and features a
dark WEEDIAN based sound lurking in the background. Celophys are not
afraid of upsetting people on this album with their dark lyrics and
brutal vocals creating a deeply unflinching sound.
The
best songs on the album have to be: Anunnaki, Papaver, Magicae
Mammuthus and Prehistoric Barn. As these songs contain the heaviest
and most brutal sounds on the album. Celophys
play
at such a frantic pace that the album can be very hard to listen to
at times. I had to take a small break from listening to the album
from time to time.
Celophys
are
perhaps one of the loudest duo’s currently within the Doom/Sludge
Metal scene and Fried
Chordata is
perhaps best suited for the more experienced Doom/Sludge Metal fan.
As casual listeners won’t find much to enjoy here and that is a
good thing. Celophys
have
created an album that is perhaps an acquired taste for some. However
even I can’t deny there are some bone-crunching riffs that I could
head-bang to all day long.
Fried
Chordata is expertly produced and sounds fantastic from the start. If
you’re in a pissed off mood and went to let off some steam then
Celophys
will
be music to your ears.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
