Review
:
Hang The
Bastard have a sweet new piece of wax out, a double tracker that you can spin
with your filthy little paws on trad black or (fucking awesome) purple. Sexy
aesthetics aside, you should never judge a band by its vinyl. Well, not just
its vinyl anyways.
'Sweet Mother' is a shit-kicker of
immense proportions, packed with groove and those ever-important colossal
earthmover riffs. A hybrid of Bongzilla, EHG and everything whisky soaked
inbetween those two; it stamps its feet and breaks its pint glass. Real
fighting music without the knuckle drag that won't follow the rules, which is
always what you want from this kind of stuff. Heavy as balls and likely to wake
up face down in a gutter somewhere with no memory of the night before.
The opposite
side is occupied by 'Dyad'. After a
creepy intro its battle stations on the HMS riff. This is an utter beast of a
track, the main part cuts like a chainsaw through a cake. It's completely
excessive and not suited for the situation at hand at all, which is why I love
it. It's so ridiculously heavy that when twinned with the gargled vocals it
stands to give you motion sickness. The drumming isn't shuffling its feet
nervously in the corner either; it's got a gun to its head. The cymbal work is
particularly good; every crash sounds like a shattering windscreen.
You need to
part ways with your cash in exchange for this immediately. Highly recommended
for any fan of depraved riffs and good times. Which I sincerely hope is all of
you.
