Instorm: Madness inside
12/09/13 || Lord K Philipson
Over the last few months I have had the dubious luxury of reviewing bands from Ukraine/Romania/Russia/whatever. This is something I strongly advice against, unless it’s Kruiz or T.A.T.U. we’re talking about. Well, here’s another one of all those bands from that part of the world…
Right off the bat, wanna see what kind of level these fuckos are at? Just click me and be amazed. Some serious Yngwie stuff right there. Then again, this could be a different band altogether in the video, I don’t know. And I don’t give a shit. The clip is amazing, that’s all that counts.
Well, these idiots are labeled as “melodic death metal”. Add to that the fact they really wanna bring in some humppa-humppa into their melodies, melodies played so stiff your dead fucken grandmother would do it with more emotion. You know, guys, it’s not against the law to actually bend some tones on those fancy guitars of yours. And you are also allowed to write decent riffs. Seriously.
Instorm’s definitely playing above their capacity (if you get my point), which results in everything sounding like a high school demo, at best. They have an energetic live show though, I have to give them that.
If you don’t take my word for how shitty this is, just take a listen and then don’t listen ever again..
2/10: Well, it’s fun that they try at least. Or… no, it’s not.
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
