Side-projects can so often be a load of self-indulgent dross
A bunch of black and death metal guys produce a heavy rock record. The results could have been horrific, and not in a good sense. Worry not, this is one heck of a good album. It’s a bit Danzig at times, combined with a touch of Black Label Society and the howls of Ian Ashbury, shoved through a European sieve and recorded. The members of Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir and Neolithic must be having a freaking blast.
You can just imagine that members of these bands go hang out in seedy rock clubs after shows and get dragged up on stage to jam. This music sounds like a bunch of guys at the top of their game having some fun and stretching their wings. This CD would warrant your attention if it were a bunch of nobodies. It's their second release and you really hope they plan to tour with it. As an extra bonus there is “Free Man” from their debut.
Side-projects can so often be a load of self-indulgent dross. Instead this is a proper album filled with great tunes. It might have been created by a bunch of black metallers, but the
red spirit of the Sunset Strip exudes from every track.
