This is their second metal album after Infest the Rat’s Nest. What do you think?
The full name is so ridiculous (in a wonderful way). I also enjoy that all their albums since Rat’s Nest have pretty much been in some way about Nature’s fury or general Climate Change apocalypse
man, this slaps hard af
Gila! Gila!
I heard Gila Monster and Dragon as singles already, of course. I was impressed with both - maybe Dragon wins by a snout for the more interesting (IMO) guitar riffs, and the syncopation between those and the drums/bass is pretty cool. The overall style being less thrash and more prog sounding than Gila Monster makes me favor it a bit more as well. Gila Monster sounds like it could have been made by Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets era Metallica - if they took themselves a little less seriously - which is very badass too.
I will listen to the album all the way through tonight and report back!
I really enjoyed my first listen. Definitely a different beast than Infest the Rats Nest. This new album almost seems like a mixture of that album and Ice, Death, etc since this is much proggier. These guys don’t miss!
I literally subscribed to this community to talk about the album. I heard both singles and loved them. Dragon is so good. The riffs are interesting, the song is dynamic and the writing is both brutal and night of tongue-in-cheek.
I’m gonna be blasting it today for sure!
It’s so awesome! A friend keeps saying it sounds a bit like Tool (Aenema specifically), but I’m not sure how much I agree
I’ve only listened to it once until now (except for dragon) and I think it’s awesome
