Formed some ten years ago by Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir, the guys are back with their fourth album. It is obvious from the start that although they are all active in other bands this is much more than just a side project, and is something that they all wholeheartedly believe in. They perform a stripped down groovy style of Rock ‘n’’ Roll, with definite attitude. In many ways they are similar to Motorhead, but with a more melodic style, and of course less chorded bass. They define their sound as “Doomsday Rock ‘n’ Roll, which was also the name of their debut album, released back in ‘06. It is impossible not to enjoy this, as there is a real impression that the guys are all 100% behind what they are performing and are having great fun at the same time. As it isn’t their main band, they have a lot of musical freedom and the end result is something that grooves and moves, but never strays too far from the original rock ‘n’ feel.

If one expects a Dimmu Borgir or Susperia (singer Shady Blue is also known as Athera of that band) album, then be prepared for a huge shock as no-one would ever imagine members of those bands producing an album like this. But if you want something that is down and dirty with more than a hint of the early Seventies combined with some very doom-like metallic elements then this is definitely going to be of interest. www.nuclearblast.de
