Tony Maim, the man behind Black Insect Laughter blog, is also behind this record:

"From a template of Punk, the sonic sensibilities of Post-rock, a smattering of Electronica and an unhealthy obsession with distorted guitars, Zeppheroin have produced an album with a disregard for modern production techniques, going for the mind melting “Raw Power” needle-in-the-red style that has distressed so many lovers of sterile digital music. With a cleanish singing/shouting style that delivers the themed lyrics dealing with loss, religion, self awareness and governments in a sneer of despair, this 30 minute album delivers a sonic assault on the world we live in."

Here it is! the brand new album of these guys from Bilbo, and one of the most anticipated of this year. As it was expected they doesn´t disappoint, they have made again a colossal work, following his particular point of view of what heavy music is. The album sounds fat, powerful and with an outstanding production. Its distinctive sound is the house brand. Enormous!

October File - Holy Armour From The Jaws Of God (2007)

2. In My Magnificent Circus
3. High Octane Climate Changer
4. Another Day
5. Hallowed Be Thy Army
6. Friendly Fire

8. Sun That Never Sets
9. Religion?
10. So Poor

I think the we can see this band and this album as the perfect mix of the trully post-hardcore sound, some of metal, and noise rock. In fact one of the best albums that I´ve heard with that kind of ingredients. His music is intense, furious, contundent and direct. A good example of this, is the brutal "high octane climate changer", mind blowing! Plus a social and political lyrics and of course the awesome cover art. Highly recommended!

A long time ago has passed since they created their masterpieces, but although they are not the same members, they still having something interesting to offer. Two short songs of soft space-electronic music with that touch of sci-fi atmosphere.
