GUILTY
AS SIN
'Psychotronic'
(Self-released)
GUILTY
AS SIN ain't what's deemed to be your usual 'safe' listen, that's
much certain. How often you'll see trumpet, trombone, darbuka and (my
personal faves!) finger cymbals and belly dancing being credited on
the albums you own? Not that often, I reckon. The best part, however,
is that their music contains zero seconds of messed up, boring and
over pretentious 'think-outside-of-the-fuckin-box' mindlessness.
Sure, the experimentation feels at home in these tunes, as the band
shifts their gears a lot throughout the album – from up-beaten and
odd sounding punky hardcore ditties (Boston,MA, should ring a bell
for ya) in the first part of the disc, to the thrash/psychedelic
mixture that is 'Addicted To Cyanide', all the way to the Middle East
influenced 'Gobekli Tepe' one. And yet,there's more to come with the
closing two songs putting me in mind of a giant VOIVOD/O.L.D. planet
collision of sorts. Fuckin' impressive, that last one if you ask me.
Do yourself a favour and get this. An unexpected, yet tasty treat
here. [8]
