Review
Aussie
Psych/Space/Stoner Rockers – Comacozer – return with their latest
album MYDRIASIS. The album is a forty-five minute plus ride into the
dark vortex of Psychedelic Space/Stoner Rock with the band adding a
more Progressive and Droned out feel to their music.
The
album is quite daring and bold with Comacozer creating a more
personal sound compared to their previous releases. Maybe the band
could be more adventurous with this album in places. However,
Comacozer pull out all the stops creating an album that’s not
afraid to play with listeners fears and expectations from start to
finish.
Opening
song – MYDRIASIS– is a progressive and droned out song with the
band slowly building many different layers of Psychedelic Spaced Out
Rock with a heavy handed Stoner Rock approach that sees the band add
a delicious and darkly twisted FUZZ Rock/Metal groove to the song.
The song runs past the thirteen-minute mark and Comacozer make sure
you don’t leave empty handed with it’s exciting blend of
Sixties/Seventies style of Jam based Freak-Out/Psychedelic Rock.
Second
song – TRYPTAMINE – has a more cosmic feel on this song with the
band adding gloomy sound effects and swirling ambient noises. The
music starts rather quiet and slowly before Comacozer move away from
their “Eastern” inspired sound for a more direct and exciting
sound. This is the perfect song to lose and rediscover yourself in.
As the song is quite reflective and forgiving in parts until the
heavy riffs appear and all HELL breaks loose.
Third
song – KYKEON JOURNEY – is the centrepiece of the album
as it runs past the twenty-minute mark. It’s perhaps the hardest
song to listen to on the album. As Comacozer take their time with
this song and it does take time for the song to fully get moving. The
song can be gloriously heavy one moment and deliberately slow the
next. This song sometimes feels the band didn’t have enough time to
get their spaced out message fully across on this song. However, this
is a superbly written that sees Comacozer play to their absolute
strengths and leaves you wanting more.
Overall, MYDRIASIS is a genuinely thrilling, stunning and expertly produced
album that long-time fans of the band will admire the most.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
