HELIOTROPES - Ribbons 7" review

HELIOTROPES - Ribbons 7"
Self Released
Genre: Indie Rock
Rating: 1/5

The biggest surprise about this all girl Brooklyn based three piece is that they are from Brooklyn and not a liberal college town. The two songs represented on here sound like someone discovered BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE or the DANDY WARHOLS a few months ago and decided to bastardize. Maybe an ex-boyfriend left a CD behind at the apartment and didn't have the balls to go get it back? Typical indie-chick vocals (whispers & howls) sung over psyched-out guitar noodling. I was really expecting them to be from someplace like Chapel Hill or any other nondescript liberal college town where the people have the musical tastes of pigeons. Plus they (college town liberals) are worse thieves then the non whites they hire to clean up their filth except the college town liberals thievery comes in the form of music. Indie Rock Losers steal everything. Oh well I'm glad to see these girls have a hobby to waste time on while they're collecting unemployment. I'm guessing some sex starved loser on a Doom blog will gush over this one in order to get an interview. Beware ladies you know what those dorks really do online. Oh yeah Anton Newcombe called, he wants his guitar solos back. You don't wanna fuck around with Anton.

Submissions Information

Contact Me at: mr.wolf69@yahoo.com

for anyone who wants to submit material for review, please read this first.

Scumfeast Metal 666 concerns itself with Extreme Metal & Sounds. Starting in 2012 I'll only be accepting review material that falls within the following genres: Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom, Thrash, Grindcore, real Hardcore/Crust/Speed Metal, classic NWOBHM, Classic Metal. Pagan/Folk Metal, Punk Metal and certain Dark Sounds. I cannot promote what I like when I'm being flooded with stuff I don't really care for.

Secondly I'm not gonna write a review from listening to your Reverbnation page. Atleast with Bandcamp I can have the music running on continuous play while I walk around the house doing mundane chores if you know what I mean. So if you want me to pay attention than please send a download link of your release which I can listen to at my leisure . I don't share files or leak stuff so your art is safe with me.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE "EXTREME"

Extreme Metal or Music is generally a form which is accepted by 1% of all of the music loving public. It is elitist in every way and that's important to those of us who call ourselves fans. The 99% of people who will not like it are Not Supposed To. The music wasn't made for them, "the masses". It's music that's for those who take things to that "other" level. There is nothing hip or fad about it. In fact we treat those two notions very harshly.

Scumfeast Metal 666 concerns itself with the Extreme side of the following genres: Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom, Thrash, Grindcore, real Hardcore/Crust, classic NWOBHM, Folk/Pagan/Viking Metal, Drone/Noise and various Dark Sounds. Do not consider the opinions read here to be the same as you would read on other music sites. Being objectionable is not our mission. Giving you an honest no holds bar extreme opinion is.
