Accolades for Elephantine
To describe their sound, I'd have to say imagine thirty thousand Rick James bitch slaps. Now imagine how those would feel if they were delivered audibly through eleven tracks with names like "Bitten from the Thigh of Zeus" and "I'm a Fucking Ice Giant." That's right, not only do they tear shit up, but they have a God complex as well. What makes this band distinctive is its use of time signatures and complete use of instruments. The bass plays the most insane riffs and chords, complemented by the guitar screeching out. This is all tied together by some of the heaviest drumming full of crash cymbals, fills, and syncopated hi-hats and rides. The vocals are guttural and growling without being all crappy and tough guy like every band out there with either "death" or "bleeding" in their name. What you get from this record is most likely what you'll hear at the live show. No overproduction, and no fucking Auto-Tune. This shit is the real deal.
