GOD FORSAKEN: Electric Release -mcd-
| Tämä
viisikko aloitti 90-luvun alussa death metal -aktina, ja siirtyi sitten
kohti doomia ja Black Sabbath -groovea. Nykytyyliä kuvaillaan kekseliäästi
nimellä doomer rock. Harmi vain, ettei itse musiikki ole minkäänlaisella
kekseliäisyydellä siunattu. God Forsaken on stereotyyppinen
stoner/doom-vaikutteinen riffinkierrätyspumppu, joita tuntuu näinä
päivinä olevan yhä enemmän ja enemmän.
Kitarat murisevat matalalla, bassossa on säröä ja soundit ovat asianmukaisen tunkkaiset. Ei mitään uutta auringon alla siis. The Pillar alkaa veikeällä perkussiojamittelulla, mutta sitten heitetään niin kulunut rock-riffi kehiin, että kiinnostus katkeaa kuin seinään. Pakollisen plussan joutuu antamaan vankasta perusrokkauksesta ja taidokkaasta soitannosta, mutta siihen ne kehut jäävätkin. Arvosana: 2/5 (LetsMakeSomeNoise)

I just recently got this CD and thought I got myself death/doom demo, but it turns out that God Forsaken have slowly transformed into a stonerrock-ish band. Doomer Rock is what they called it. The mcd has three songs which all kicks ass, buzzy guitars and pretty old school overall sounds. There are clear 70's vibes throughout the whole CD-R, especially during the solos halfway through "The Pillar". I'm having trouble pinpointing the influences, but I would say a bit of C.O.C. from few CD's back or some Roadsaw style going. Thats not the whole truth though. The band list Black Sabbath, Unida and Fu Manchu as their influences... (Hellride music)

| According to the bio this band has quite a history. They started under the name Putrid and played doom tinged Death Metal. They even toured with Anathema in ’94! But since then they have changed from death metal to what they call Doomer Rock and what the rest of the world calls Stoner Rock. On this single they play 3 upbeat rock songs that remind me of old Acrimony and Cathedral but slightly faster than these two. The vocals really are the only downside to the songs since they don’t sound as groovy and raw as the rest. Not bad but nothing special either. (Lords of Metal)

The
musical style they play now has changed enormsly during their existence.
Started as death metal they transformed to doom and now they are more
like a doom stoner rock band influences from Black Sabbath (guitarlead
in track 2!) to Fu Manchu. Three songs with dirty heavy guitarriffs
and clean vocals. The songs don't set the world afire but are easy listenable
and even sing a long choruslines. (Brutalism) |
