9.3
/Technical metal, Crossover, Surf rock/
Comment: Collapse introduces this 4-track album with spacey, expressive guitar riffs-gliding (the kind of which could have been an essential part of some albums by Michael Karoli, CAN`s guitarist, for example) which soon will be stricken by tumultuous noodling and frantic power washes full of ferocious but technical metal aesthetics, merciless chug and graceful overdrives which brings forth the influences - surprise, surprise - of surf music. In a word, it is an almost crossover album drifting between turbo-sustained technical metal patterns and infrequent surf pop rays. The collective originates from Firenze/Florence, Italy. Great in its self-awareness and self-confidence.
