Review:
French
Stoner Psych Space Rockers – Brain Pyramid – finally unleash
their debut album – Chasma Hideout through ace Italian Record Label
– Acid Cosmonaut Records.
So
what does Chasma Hideout have in store for you. Well it's a very
strange affair as Brain Pyramid's style of Space/Stoner Rock has a
very experimental feel to it. It doesn't play by the rules as the
band create a lot of different noises and effects to stand out from
the crowd. Opening track – Living In The Outer Space – is a
frenzied fast-paced affair which blends Space Rock and Stoner Rock
for highly impressive results. The Psychedelic Fuzz is another great
reason to check out the band as the album has a lot of feedback
running through it's 46 minute time.
Psychedelic
is the main order of business here as Brain Pyramid take influences
from a whole range of Stoner/Psych/Space Rock bands from the last 40
years or so. The album will have something for everyone to rock out
to. The vocals take a while getting used to but that's only a minor
complaint for an album as good as this. Other great tracks to check
out are Landing On The Pyramid, Lucifer and the brilliant 11:38
minute epic – Chasma Hideout – which is one damn fine
acid-tripping psychedelic fuzz master-class which oozes class.
The
whole album is one massive jam-based exercise in noise and volume and
when Brain Pyramid unleash the noise they become a more frightening
prospect in the realm of Stoner/Psych Rock. Brain Pyramid add
elements of 60s/70s based Psychedelic sounds and noises which gives
this album an adventurous and exciting feel to it. As I stated before
the album is very experimental so don't go expecting a straight
forward sounding record as Brain Pyramid will test some listeners
patience to the limit. Trust me when I say that is a very good thing
indeed. It shows a band who are not afraid to challenge people's
perceptions about Stoner Rock music in general.
Chasma
Hideout is an excellent debut album from Brain Pyramid. These guys
are going to be something special in the years to come if they keep
releasing great albums such as this.
