MindKiller Review
(3 February 2024)
After being reminded this past week that this band was listed in the one hit wonders for a metal album list, I decided to re-acquaint myself with the release. 30 years on from this release, we know Max Cavalera of Sepultura fame has a penchant for calling up members of other bands and asking then to collaborate with him. Of all bands, he asked Alex Newport from Fudge Tunnel (yes, "who?" do I hear you say). Despite the graphic cover picture for the album, this turned out to be an enjoyable listen. Taking on a very industrial/military sound, the guitars were tuned down, the drumming was abrasive and for the most part had the general sounds any metalhead would enjoy. I say most, as unlike other bands or albums that start with some killer songs and may decline in quality as the tracks continue, for me, this one is the opposite. I actually think the first 2 songs are nothing to get excited about. From there onwards, we get to understand what the band were trying to achieve. Adding in the somewhat trend at the time of a hidden track on the last track and I really enjoyed a listen after such a long time. |
