In the Woods
Strange in Stereo
Drums… check. Guitar riffs… check. Over blown guitar solos… check. Self indulgent electronic tomfoolery… check. Desperately emotional vocal cries… check. But, bizarrely, the cheese seems to be missing. There’s not even a subtle whiff of economy cheddar! I’ve looked my boys; hunted for gorgonzola, nuzzled its crevices seeking a mozzarella surprise. Hell, I’ve even wrung its sodden body to dislodge any latent, spreadable, garlic roulade (yum tum). It’s just not fucking cheesy Grishnach!
If rock were likened to the pleasure of squashing worms between two plates of glass, this album would be like the juicy squelching of a worm farm massacre. It slips and slides past us like an enigmatic pied worm piper. It plays its epic chants in a seductive manner, leaving us lost in trance following its dizzying dance.
Believe me friends, I am all too aware of how ridiculous metal is. It’s embarrassing nonsense. But oh my boys… oh boys… there are so many marvellous droogs making perfectly crafted soundscapes buried within the beast. This is one of those albums to play when you want to shout “THERE ARE SOME FUCKING GREAT METAL ALBUMS, THEY’RE NOT ALL SHIT”.
