Review:
Melmak. How to describe
Melmak. Now that is a tough one. Sludge, Doom, Stoner, Punk and
Hardcore all play a part in bringing the Melmak vision to life.
Though they are still very hard to describe. Fuck it. Lets call
Melmak an intense Sludge/Doom/Stoner Metal duo that will rock your
fucking world. As their debut album – The Only Vision Of All Gods –
is a fast-paced journey into the warped minds of this highly talented
duo.
If you're a fan of High
On Fire, Kylesa, and Galvano then Melmak is the band for you. Their
debut album has the perfect mixture of fast paced riffs and
slow-paced down-tempo riffs that venture across the Sludge/Stoner
Metal spectrum. Each song has it's own identity and different story
to tell. The first few tracks venture into fast-paced territory which
brings Melmak Hardcore Punk vibe to the front with elements of Doom
and Sludge Metal matched with intense vision especially on
Terroristing, Collective Suicide and Red Fly.
Then Melmak throw a
curve ball by on Escape Or Die as this track starts off as with a
slow-paced nightmarish drone based riff before exploding into angrier
Sludge/Stoner Metal territory. It shows there is a lot more to
Melmak's music than just the usual heavy riffs and carnage.
The album will leave
you breathless at times especially on the 2nd half of the
album with tracks such as Saturn vying for your attention. It's to
the band's credit that they sound that like a hard-rocking power trio
or quartet as the riffs come at you from every direction.
Melmak should rightly
be proud of this album. It's one insane journey you won't be able to
get enough of. My advice. Embrace the darkness and madness that
Melmak have created here. It's an album you all need to experience
once in your life.
