Wow this is weird. So remember how Melvins and Isis went on tour? Remember the travesty of the Melvins opening for Isis (I don't care that it was their last tour the Melvins should never open for anyone)? Mose Giganticus would agree with me, but would've gone to the show and loved every minute of it. This band is seriously what happens when the Melvins fuck Isis and the baby is ripped from the womb. It is really great, and although you could make the outright claim that they're basically a Melvins cover band, that's not the worst thing in the world to be. The band knows exactly what they're doing, all obviously well-trained and passionate about the music they're making. Matt Garfield is a great songwriter, and his lyrics are the opposite of stuff like Kingdom of Sorrow that makes you think metalheads are all brain dead from doing too much meth. "Gift Horse" has one problem in my mind which is it is too short, and I think the world would benefit from a little more material. Not to say that "The Seventh Seal" isn't a solid closer, I just wish there was more in between that and the awesome opening track "Last Resort" which reminds of "The Bit" by the Melvins. Get this album. Saucy's Picks: I'm serious listen to every song. Every single one.
