Ouvi demais, até hoje sei de cor. 30 anos de lançado.
Era o postmortem oficial de Dave Lombardo pós-Slayer. O supergrupo Voodoocult veio antes, e de lá Lombardo e Waldemar Sorychta fundaram o GripInc.
Pra quem queria ouvir Slayer, 2 sons daqui: “Cleanse the Soul” e “Colors Of Death”. Pauladas. Single e videoclipe foram “Ostracized”, cadenciada. O disco é cadenciado num todo. Mas “PowerOfInnerStrenght” trouxe muito mais.
“Monsters Among Us” era anti-pedofila e “Ostracized”, sobre veteranos de guerra sem teto, trazendo temática séria, realista.
No q mais diz respeito – Dave Lombardo em si – temos groove e batucadas (“Toque De Muerto”, pessoas!) e ainda truques q jamais mostraria na ex-banda. Como a intrincada “Guilty Of Innocence” e “Heretic War Chant”.
E “Hostage to Heaven” não consigo descrever. Se for pra ouvir UMA do disco, TEM q ser ela.
Chegou o dia em q lamentei algo feito por AnnekevanGiersbergen. Isso pq o Fim do Mundo já passou.
Compreendi a intenção, mas pra mim não funcionou. Fora q ToriAmos já tinha fiascado muito parecido quando fez a versão pra “Raining Blood” em seu “StrangeLittleGirls” (2001).
Reduzidos a KarlSanders, GeorgeKollias e agregados da vez. E tudo bem. Impressão de alguns sons mais básicos se desfaz nas dinâmicas ENTRE os sons.
Álbum pra quem ainda ouve álbum.
Encarte (leiam encartes) tipicamente prolixo comparece e em fontes cada vez menores + um título q me lembra Slayer; vai ver, nada a ver.
Vai ver, é alguma homenagem e tem q dissecar tudo o q Sanders achou interessante descrever e vai dar algum trabalho encontrar.
Trabalho nenhum compreender o todo e o melhor título prolixo de som da safra: “Chapter For Not Being Hung Upside Down On a Stake In the Underworld And Made to Eat Feces By the Four Apes”.
Som favorito disparado: “To Strike With Secret Fang”, arregaço atípico de 2 minutos.
Pra mim, o melhor desde “AnnihilationOftheWicked” (2005), ainda q não o superando. Jóia do Nilo esse Nile.
Estou bem por fora, admito: vi aquele primeiro som – e nem lembro se gostei – e não ouvi nem vi mais nada sobre esse KerryKing CNPJ novo.
Sei q “FromHellIRise” já saiu, pelo menos.
Mas a imprensa do metal nacional brasileira está repercutindo o cara ou preferindo criticar Kiko Tesouro tocando de bermuda?
Trouxe essa FistfulOfMetal de Londres por causa da capa (teria valido só pela foto), mas não pude me furtar de compartilhar trechos da matéria por um certo Oran O’Beirne de OITO PÁGINAS sobre ele.
Sobre a formação da banda com ele, Paul Bostaph, Mark Osegueda, Phil Demell e Kyle Sanders:
“What a lot of people don’t take into consideration is that all the guys in this project, apart from Mark, didn’t have a job – and that also included me! At this point of my career, the last thing I wanted was any drama… I don’t need that shit. Luckily for me these guys are my friends, they are people I can trust, and also, they are people who know exactly what is needed of them to be a part of this project.
I really wanted to be surrounded by people who all have equal love for this kind of music, and that’s exactly what I got”, he explains: “The funny thing is, we still have not played together in a room with a volume yet! We were all in the same room to shoot the ‘Residue’ (second single from the album) video, but we were not playing with the normal volume we would be, had we been in a rehearsal space. The first real rehearsals are coming in the next few weeks before we kick off the live shows”.
Todo elogios a Mark Osegueda:
“Mark just nailed his vocals on this album. His vocals just elevated everything we had done on the demos to such a level that I had not expected at first. (…) When I first heard Mark singing it was for ‘Residue’, and I asked them: ‘How did you get to this register?’ He definitely had some tricks up his sleeves when it came to the vocals, and honestly couldn’t be any happier the way they turned out”.
Sobre o Slayer, rescaldos e 3 shows marcados, não uma volta:
“Kerry had recently revealed that two tracks from the solo album (“Rage” and “From Hell I Rise”) were, in fact, composed during the writing sessions for Slayer‘s twelfh and final studio album, “Repentless” (2015).
“We wanted to give the fans what they wanted to see, then go away for a few more years… Or perhaps forever”, he teases: “I can put to bed any rumours of Slayer touring again, because that’s not gonna happen, and I can put to bed any rumours of Slayer ever recording again, because that’s also never gonna happen”.
Tem material já pra um segundo disco, fôlego pra turnê e parâmetro de setlist:
“I can’t rest at this point of my career”, he says in a solemn manner. “I want to work as hard as I can, tour as many countries as I can, and release as much music as I can while I’m still able to do it”.
(…)
“The weirdest thing for me is that I’ve never been home for four and a half years in my entire adult life, so this a new problem for me to deal with. I’m going to have to come to terms with leaving my family. I’ve never been home long enough to reach this level of missing my wife and animals. That’s gonna be the hardest thing for me”.
(…)
“I can’t wait to get on a stage again. We will be tipically playing for about an hour and fifteen minutes, and I’ll definetly be doing about forty minutes of the new album, so naturally. I’ll be including some Slayer classics in the set. I’m only gonna be focusing on the stuff that I wrote and/or co-wrote. I’ll not be doing anything that Jeff wrote by himself. I really want to get established with the new material, and not give people the ammo to hate it, so I’m just gonna do stuff that I had partial writing on, be it a whole song or part of it”.
****”
Agora é esperar pra ver se alguém copia daqui os trechos ahahah
