Fantastic! This is the perfect word to define this new album. Taking as reference some of the black metal patterns they totally redifine the style adding a bunch of prog-circus melodies, enriching the music until they create this wonder. An album that needs to be carefully listened to extract all of its essence. Don´t you miss the video either, simply astonishing!

King Crimson is one of those bands that doesn´t need introduction. With more than 40 years creating music and countless albums, this is the band that has been able to achieve the succes and the respect of all kind of musicians and fans of metal, rock, jazz, etc. All of this leading by its brain, Mr.Robert Fripp, the perfect experimenter. Because this is of what this album goes, of experimentation and evolution in music. Here there are no boundaries nor limits, just what Mr.Fripp is capable to imagine. This is not an easy listening album, King Crimson never was. This is just another step forward in its music. A little-known gem inside its discography. Enjoy these geniuses!

Zeppheroin - The Atrocity Exhibition (2011)

1.- Day of nine dogs

2.- Life is pain

3.- Stoned angel

4.- Lenon mantra

5.- Junkyard god

6.- Neon gunshot

7.- The overloaded man

8.- Retro jesus

9.- Dead inside

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."

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

1. Munitions Crusade
2. In My Magnificent Circus
3. High Octane Climate Changer
4. Another Day
5. Hallowed Be Thy Army
6. Friendly Fire
7. Blood and Sweat
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!
