Review
Psych/Blues/Stoner Rockers The Kryss Talmeth Experience is a band who focus upon dirty sounding Heavy Psych Rock which oozes moments of Proto-Metal, Classic Doom and high amounts of ear-deafening fuzz. Inspired by the likes of CREAM, BLUE CHEER, The Doors, Led Zepp and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The record is a collection of trippy extended jams with frantic FUZZY guitar work that allows the subtle Blues Rock energy to take a leading and commanding performance from the very start. The band may focus upon the classic heyday of 1960’s and 1970’s Hard Rock energy but that PROTO based attitude allows the record to be quite modern sounding for huge parts of the album.
The production values are rich in detail with The Kryss Talmeth Experience showing a fondness for distorted Space Rock movements, melodies and textures with certain Prog Rock appeal along the way. WIth a catchy array of FUZZ ROCK attitudes that develops into a heavier AMPLIFIER DISTORTED atmosphere on the early tracks of Jump Into The River, Media Content and When The Wheels Fall Off impressing with is OTT psychedelic jams and surprising modern day lyrics especially within the excellent second track of Media Content.
The Kryss Talmeth Experience may develop and create music that was initially played over half a century ago, the record does have a winning modern day aesthetic within the lyrics and kick-ass sludgy grooves that appear out of nowhere within Media Content which then develop into a heavier form of music across the remainder of the album.
The band find their true calling on the second half of the record with the instrumental sounds being more aggressive, direct and powered by a muscular PROGRESSIVE charge on tracks such as: Jamie’s Revenge, Pleasure Monkey and Rough Guide To The Tripping Through The Desert which is perhaps the heaviest and WEEDIAN inspired track on the whole album.
When The Wheels Fall is dynamite entertainment from start to finish with The Kryss Talmeth Experience providing classic sounding grooves and outstanding riffs that ultimately demands your full attention.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
