THE FUCKING CHAMPS Reviews

THE FUCKING CHAMPS V

Album · 2002 · Heavy Metal

Warthur

The Fucking Champs launch another dose of all-instrumental technical indie-metal on V, which continues in much the same vein as IV. High notes include the driving, pulsing opener Never Enough Neck, the capable cover version of Air on a G String - and, to be honest, most of the tracks on the disc. Keeping their compositions short and sweet - but no less technically impressive for it - the Champs might be a one-trick band, but it's a pretty good trick which I am happy to listen to over and over again. Recommended for metal fans who don't need lyrics to have a good time.

THE FUCKING CHAMPS IV

Album · 2000 · Heavy Metal

Warthur

The Fucking Champs play an intriguing band of highly technical all-instrumental metal with plenty of influences contributing from indie rock and progressive rock, leading to an intriguing sound which is showcased to good effect on IV. The band show a remarkable grasp of the twisting time signatures they tackle, and also reveal a mastery of evoking their own unique atmosphere - one based not on the aggression or doomy melancholy much extreme metal calls on, nor on the sense of epic, soaring adventure or raw and dirty partying down that traditional/glam/power metal thrives on, but on a laid-back and cool aesthetic reminiscent of the indie rock scene the band emerged from.
