Beastwars: Put some Heavy in your Metal
Simple.
Bombastic. Tribal. Headbanging. Wall. Of. Sound. And this is just the first
track Damn the Sky. It’s chunky. It’s rumbly. It’s rock goodness. It’s
Beastwars! Releasing their debut album on September 11, Beastwars is already
the most talked about metal band in New Zealand. They are ready to take the
world by storm via the album Beastwars. Beastwars is for people who like their
metal stripped down, raw, and edgy. Clayton Anderson on guitar and James Woods on
bass create an enormous sound using just one guitar and one bass. They are
heavier than most bands who need to employ multiple guitar players and hide
their bass sound. They are augmented by Nathan Hickey on drums, who definitely
went to the Animal school of drumming. He hits the drums hard. Matt Hyde is
helming vocal duties and he’s got the most amazing metal voice ever.
I
usually get all OCD and do track by track reviews of albums but this is one
disk you should just buy and be prepared to get thoroughly blown away. I want
you to love Beastwars without me colouring it for you. Just know, there is a
lot to love about the album Beastwars. The production is top notch. It sounds
good on crappy little iPod earbuds. It sounds good on the pre-installed
beatsaudio on my HP. It sounds good on my mates MAC. Not enough information for
you? Beastwars has shades of Jimi Hendrix Experiement. They have shades of Tool
and Nine Inch Nails. They have shades of
Soundgarden. Matt Hyde at one
point has me throwing my panties at the computer screen. No lie. His voice just
drips with raw sexuality. He leaves you gobsmacked. James Woods on bass guitar
lays down some of the most amazing heavy metal bass riffs imaginable. The duet
of James and Nathan in the rhythm section is proof positive gods exist and they
love doomy sludgy heavy metal.
