MONARCH - Omens CD review

MONARCH - Omens CD

At A Loss Recordings

Genre: Sludge / Noise

There are times when I have to wonder if the pretentious loving human garbage of the elitist music media are being generous with their praises or are they just bozos all conceived from the same clown car. Case in point, take this drone doom act MONARCH who have at least one person from France in the band. They literally suck, they blow, they're talentless hacks who some how connived their way into getting studio time to record. I'm not just talking about this three song (?) piece of crap. I'm talking about all of their releases, most of them are EPs which they have the nerve to call full lengths.

Lets start with the idiot behind the mic. Emilie Bresson is not a singer, instead she just screams like a brat with a soiled diaper. Hey Fay Wray the gorilla is gone so shut the fuck. She also adds a few moans and shrieks not as if she's enjoying herself. Personally when people start acting crazy like that you've got no choice but to put them down. And I'm not talking verbally either. I'm talking lead poisoning. Next up is the sludgey drone dirge that is not crushing at all. On the last cut "Black Becomes the Sun" it sounds like the guitarist just plugged in, kicked the instrument then sat down for twenty minutes while the feedback just continued to rumble.

Here's a puzzle for you bright bulbs to figure out. This thing took four months to record in four different countries with four different producers. It's only a little over thirty five minutes of noise! Whatafuck took so long? Also there are a half dozen "guests" on this release although I can't figure out what they were doing during the recording of this other than picking their asses. What a fuckin joke. For two years now I've been praising the French underground extreme music scene because they're showcasing caustic, nihilistic and threatening acts. This is an insult. Anyone who praises this garbage is a pretentious asshole.

WIZARD RIFLE - Speak Loud Say Nothing CD review

WIZARD RIFLE - Speak Loud Say Nothing CD

Seventh Rule Recordings

Genre: Sludge / Noise Rock

The more I read about a band being described as eclectic, innovative as well as pushing the limits on heavy music the more I know it's going to be easy to figure out. WIZARD RIFLE, a two piece duo (guitar and drums) from Portland, Oregon, are the latest buzz band in the music media simply because they are indescribable by the music media. Guess what? Take NOMEANSNO (a Canadian three piece punk band from the mid 80's who were highly jazz influenced in their time signatures and I had a bunch of their early releases back in the day) and HIGH ON FIRE. Toss both into a blender, mix well, then poor contents over the head of the pretentious indie rock record store clerk who wears a DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN t-shirt every day of the week. That's what WIZARD RIFLE (aka: Matt Dameron - guitar / vocals and Sam Ford - drums / vocals) are all about.

Yeah it's a mixed bag of noise or if you will the modern version of an annoying jam band. Speak Loud Say Nothing is their debut five cut opus of jazzy, neck snapping beats and avant - groove (now was that so hard to figure out?) which is definitely geared towards the college radio loser sect and not extreme types in the metal realm. The term "forward thinking metal" really means "taken from some past artist(s) who modern music nerds have no memory of". WIZARD RIFLE are not a total waste of time. When the pair keep things sludgy and crank out angry monster riffs they're tolerable. Unfortunately it doesn't last for long since they end up sounding like a sludge rock act suffering from turrets syndrome. After enduring this for a few spins I wanna break out The Day Everything Became Nothing by NOMEANSNO and really rock the fuck out.

Rating - 2/5

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.
