Ho ye! Whit’s new? This tribute is Bee’s Knees and is gobsmacking luminous!
Intensity of a frantic bull fused with the ferocity of a wounded tiger, the grand-daddies of Indian Metal; Millennium unleash their ferocity on ‘Iron Fist’ this album’s title track. Parallel to its counterpart, Millennium propel their music with matching speed, the song’s lyrics faces Verhnon’s vocal wrath and overall it kicks-ass to the very word tribute.
Hoarse vocal characteristics like Lemmy with minor aesthetics of black/doom metal; Dying Embrace have designed ‘Deaf Forever’ in a heavy yet languid sounding direction.
‘Dead and Gone’ – describing this song by 1833 AD in few words and I’d say ‘6minutes of supreme evil’. Unlike habitual Black Metal from start to end, for this song 1833 AD’s approach resonates what I’d like to call a ‘Black Metal Ballad’. Its unhurried opening, vocals unifying with a pinch of raspy and creating a phantasm of pure wickedness. Play this song, lay your head down and prepare to wake up in hell.
For ‘Turn You Round Again’ the doom/stoner based Bevar Sea’s sound equals iniquity, the reason is their well designed looming of heavy guitar, the curt and ghoulish approach of Ganesh’s vocals. Evil lurks while you turn so careful when you are going round again.
Before you listen to ‘God Was Never On Your Side’ gulp your drink to let this subtle song blend in smoothly, performed by the horror-metal band Albatross. Highlighting my much-loved song of the entire album is; Biprorshee’s zealous leading vocals mixed with some immense guitar solo. I can only but say prepare for a short poignant trip.
‘Sacrifice’ – starting off with a heavy session then merging in with elements of punk and sometimes grunge, Shepherd follows a into snappy vocals and pays their tribute sounding and attesting that their are an Sludge Metal band.
‘Death or Glory’ – there is unadulterated rawness in the vocals, the theme of Thrash in the drums and the high-speed guitar heaviness is amplified making the speakers whimper, all of which contests the grim muse of what Witchgoat is all about and if you don’t like this song then as they say on their Facebook page ‘Fuck Off’.
‘I Don’t Believe A Word’ – lets you peek into the heavy modus operandi of Djinn and Miskatoni, they have prearranged a profound glance of the song. Their vocal carries out the enormity of the song’s gist in the way what a couple of tequila shots will do to you head.
When Mortar say they are old school Thrash Metal band then you better zip it and agree, if you think otherwise centuries will pass and no one will know that you died listening to their tribute ‘I am the Sword’.
The image and feeling that ‘Orgasmatron’ constitutions both lyrically and musically by Motörhead is like facing a man-eater bare handed. Listening to this version by Solar Deity’s and it left me with the feeling that I was amidsts family and friends watching my funeral pyre. Their Facebook page pronounces; ‘EVEN THE GODS WILL LEARN TO PRAY’, we are after all mere metal mortals.
Listening to ‘Terminal Show’ will not be easy on the ear. Purgation has cleansed this song with baleful vocals, evil guitar riffs and is a overall gruesome treat to Death Metal fans.
‘The Game’ – is reloaded with a concoction of low-tuned guitars, lethargic tempo and a sense of despaired growling vocals, remarkably revitalized by Dormant Inferno.
Finally, when you reach out and play the 13th song of the album ‘Untitled’, which starts at the 59th second, it may sound like a spur of the moment jam recording. Nevertheless, it is a fresh nerve-racking acoustic version of the high octane track ‘Aces of Spades’ by Bevar Sea.
Those selective about Motörhead songs, which mustn’t be the case but if you are then lookout for the songs; ‘Iron Fist’, ‘Dead and Gone’, ‘God Was Never On Your Side’ and ‘I Don’t Believe A Word’.
Whereas if you breathe, eat and shit Motörhead then guzzle your JD and crank the volume and get ready for a Motörized roller-coaster ride without a safety hatch, by some of India’s best who pay their tribute to the band which re-energized heavy metal in the 70’s and 80’s.
