Keskustelua raskaammasta musiikista ›

Vuosi sitten bändi luuli olevansa vielä jonkin sortin post-metallia, mutta nyt uuden levyn kynnyksellä on helppo todeta olleensa väärässä. Välillä jopa pikkuisen blastataan, mutta tuommoisessa hitaammassa ja raskaammassa muljutuksessa on pääpaino.
 
Viime kesänä bändi julkaisi EP:n, joka on vielä toistaiseksi kuunneltavissa ja ladattavissa ilmaiseksi bandcampissa:
https://ovenizer.bandcamp.com/releases
 
Tuo EP tullaan julkaisemaan digitaalisesti kaikissa isoimmissa palveluissa uuden täyspitkän myötä, joten bandcampista se todennäköisesti jossain kohtaa poistuu. Tuon tiimoilta tuli myös musiikkivideo, ja uusi video tulee vielä ennen levyn julkaisua.

Ovenizer kävi viime vuonna keikkailemassa Taiwanissa asti, ja sieltä löydettiin myös näyttelijät uuden levyn teaserille:

Eli torakoita ja ötököitä.
 
Semmoista. Saapi keskustella vapaasti! Tännekin sitten huudellaan sitä mukaa kun asioita tapahtuu, ainakin keikkoja taas luvassa ulkomaita myöden ;)

Lainaan tähän koko pashan, säästyy kaikilta tuo linkin klikkaamisen vaiva:
 
" The album title, SWM, is short for the second track off the album, Satans Washing Machine. Now me being the moron I am, I couldnt take that seriously and thought that this album was gonna be stupid and Id laugh at how bad it is and blah, blah, fuckin blah, Im dumb. Well with the universe eternally setting out to prove me wrong, Ovenizers upcoming album is impressive to say in the least because this doom/post metal trio has created an album that made me do that bob of the head along with the beat that we all do every day even if we dont realize it. SWM has an awesome variety of vocals all throughout the album that I believe any metal fan can like and enjoy at any time simply because of how good they are alongside the guitars and drums which are just as stunning. This album is solid in every single way and when it drops on April 22nd it will definitely have plenty of people applauding it as I did."
 
Videon valmistumista odotellessa, myös levyn ennakkokuuntelu tulossa! Siitä lisää sitten kun.

Ihan vallan kiva meininki, lainataas tähän taas koko revohka:
 
"When I looked up Ovenizer on the internet, I noticed a review about this record. The writer wasn't too friendly about the artwork and the title, which actually is an abbreviation of 'Satans Washing Machine'. He wondered why a band would come up with something as silly as that. I actually didn't, I remember thinking ''Satans Washing Machine', sounds awesome' and I imagined a lot of things Satan would do if he had a washing machine. On the other hand, what would Satan wash? He only wears a black piece of cloth made from the scrotum of the damned, no?
 
Now, any self-respecting reviewer would immediately look beyond the cover art and the title. Whoever does this, will find one hell of an album, blending death and doom metal, stoner rock and black metal into a very enjoyable and groovy piece of work. Quite strange for a band that claims to be a post-metal band with 'nordic' influences but pretty amazing nonetheless. Let's just call this groove-metal and headbang ourselves into a coma again, shall we?
 
The album opens with 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giant', a very strong song with groovy riffs and alternating melodic vocals and deep growls. Most of the other songs follow the same structure, often reminding me of Amorphis' 'Black Winter Day', combined with some Machine Head influences. Title track 'Satans Washing Machine' might already be one of my favourites this year. 'S&M' rocks damn well but still it leaves me a bit hungry, at this point SWM is a good album but Ovenizer have to show something more to become great.
 
And damned, do they deliver...
 
On 'Paddling In The Sky' the blastbeasts suddenly appear, suddenly references of Emperor or Immortal aren't far away. 'S.I.B.' brings Machine Head to mind again and is one hell of a metal track. 'Incubatory' borrows the post-metal elements in the previous songs and becomes an awesome modern melodic metal track. 'Watch' and 'Don't Trust Me, I Know What I'm Doing' close the album in style. I'm not going to give away the brilliant ending. You'll have to find that out for yourselves.
 
In all, SWM is a pretty amazing melodic metal album, combining some of the best elements from many heavy genres. The amount of variation is startling, even in the excellent use of vocals. Ovenizer might as well become the missiing link between old school and new school metal and that's a real accomplishment. I can only recommend checking this out because it rocks ànd it has a great sense of humour. Basically that's all we need in life, right?
