Mose Giganticus - Gift Horse

Mose Giganticus is a one man band constructed by Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Matthew Garfield, who had put in plenty of time in various punk bands of the area. Since formingt he project back in 2005, this project has seen a few albums, but none as heavy, entertaining, yet odd as far as the music for this release goes. Gift Horse, the second full-length album from   Mose Giganticus,is essentially a Sludge Metal style of playing with some Hardcore and Punk influences that are brought in, but mostly through synthesizers. However, with Gift Horse, it seems that the material this time around is much more Sludge oriented with synths then anything else. This more refined sound leads to Gift Horse being a great album that really stands out amongst the many Mastodon clone bands in this style, and may very well toppled them and each doppleganger all at the same time.

While this album does seem to focus moreso on the Sludge sound of the music, there are still some tracks on here that still bring in the whole Punk and Hardcore atmosphere. Take "The Left Path" for instance. While this track has the ground work of a Sludge album, it has the speed and even the group chanting that would commonly be associated with the Hardcore music style. These elements added together work great and really make this track stand out above all on the release for how heavy it ultimately sounds. However, all of this applies only to the speed factor of the album. While this track is one of the most enjoyable and really stands out amongst the faster tracks of the album, there's no denying that "Days of Yore" is easily the most unique track on this entire album, with it's insane layer of science fiction atmosphere that gives the song an almost astral feel thanks to the synthesizers that overpower the track to take you on one hell of well composed trip right from the start.

 

While the Sludge aspect of this album is absolutely fantastic and really works well to create an experience all it's own, the tracks like "Days of Yore" are really where this album shines. While "Days of Yore" is enough that it could sweep you away into a whole other musical world without leaving the Sludge roots behind, it's the song "White Horse" that really drives the album home with it's epic overall sound thanks to the heavy synthesizers and accompanying guitars, all of which building a very intense song without going over the top, acting as sort of a climax track to the concept behind the album, which apparently is that of the building tension before the great war between Heaven and Hell, and the discussions between God and Lucifer.

Gift's Horse Tracklist: 

1. Last Resort - 4:03
2. The Left Path - 4:14
3. Demon Tusk - 3:44
4. Days of Yore - 3:47
5. The Great Deceiver - 4:07
6. White Horse - 4:53
7. The Seventh Seal - 5:04

Deicide - To Hell With God

Deicide, a band whose story is rife with controversy and surprise, is back. Am I the only one who had heard 2008’s Till Death Do Us Part was their farewell release? Whatever…

It’s difficult to make any predictions before reviewing Deicide record. The band is one of the founding pillars of death metal and has some undeniably seminal releases, but has also made it known that other parts of its catalog were purposeful rush jobs to satisfy label obligations. 2006’s The Stench Of Redemption was a breath of fresh air (!) with newcomers to the lineup Jack Owen and Ralph Santolla adding amazingly well written solos and lead melodies to the old formula. Then came Till Death Do Us Part, which if liner notes can be believed, had drummer Steve Asheim handling all rhythm guitar duties and bringing Owen and Santolla in only for choice solos. The result was that the album sounded like the Deicide of the 90s, which was a big disappointment after what Stench had introduced.

So here we are, 2011, a new decade, a new Deicide record. With no particular expectations, I hit play on this thing, and am immediately hit with crisp, clear, and brutal 21st century production. Is this Deicide? Yes it is. Not only is it Deicide, it’s the band that put out The Stench Of Redemption, on steroids (again?), and with a clear vision of what they need to get back to the top of the pack.

Although the production is really what stands out the most at first, (clear guitars, not-so-overbearing vocals), the songwriting is also a cut above standard Deicide. Sometimes in death metal, especially with the older bands who come from the “play it faster even if you can’t play it” generation, things get muddled. On To Hell With God, the riffs complement each other instead of becoming a string of the same old, and Benton’s vocal patterns are catchy rather than monotonous.

The more I listen to it, the more I realize that this album could be used as a mixing case study for beginning metal sound engineers. The instruments are all perfectly audible and nestled within their own frequencies so that the kick is not hidden under the guitars, the bass is not hidden under the kick, and so on. At any point you can isolate any one element, which makes for new discoveries with repeated listens.

The old guard of death metal is alive and well. If you’re up for a hearty serving of brutality with a side of hilarious “Satanic” lyrics, check this one out.

Serj Tankian - Prometheus Bound Musical

Embarking into new territory, Serj Tankian is in the midst of composing music for the upcoming musical Prometheus Bound. The adaptation of this classic Greek tragedy into a modern musical will debut in the spring of 2011 at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusets.
An outcry against tyranny, Prometheus Bound shows one man's struggle against the brute force of a ruthless dictator.  Written by Tony Award-winning lyricist and playwright Steven Sater (Spring Awakening) with music by Tankian, this bold new musical is inspired by Aeschylus's ancient Greek tragedy about the suffering of Western civilization's first prisoner of conscience. A.R.T. Artistic Director Diane Paulus stages this world premiere production in OBERON, immersing the audience in an environment that has the Dionysian energy and rebelliousness of a rock concert.
