Kannabinõid - Kannabinõid EP (2012)
8.8
/Sludge metal, Experimental metal, Doom metal, Stoner rock, Post-metal/
Comment: Kannabinõid (Cannabis Witch) is a quartet from Tallinn, Estonia whose soundscape is filled in with massive bass and gritty drum induced low noise, growling and screaming vocal presentation and obscure lyrics (chanted in Estonian). The outstanding part of the EP is outlined throughout the self-titled track where nebulous vocal lines are dragged over a lopsided territory which is infiltrated with somehow charming malignancy and adorned with dexterous sonic effects and anaplastic shit. The more you listen to it the more you get suffocated in it (so be careful with it). Because of conveying some kind of deviousness and impurity the musical group can be compared with the likes of Talbot, and Wreck And Reference, for instance. In conclusion, they provide confidence and give hope for their sophomore album provided that it will be issued in the future.
Kamikaze Deadboy - Self Titled (2012)
9.2
/Crossover, Ambient, Breaks, Plunderphonics, Jungle, Samplecore, Sound collage, Experimental electronica, Musique concrète/
Comment: my first experience regarding meeting the arty aspirations of Halifax, the UK-based artist Keiron Ignorant aka Kamikaze Deadboy was related to the album If You Happy, Buy Me on Echoboy Records back in 2008 which was a 22-track dizzy blend of a tremendous array of frenetic breaks, poignant samples and innovative cores. However, he had been issuing a series of releases on Sociopath Recordings at the end of the 2000s either. This time the British musician gets involved in the list of Sirona-Records offering up 8 compositions spreaded out over 28 minutes which used to wobble in between a little lethargic but relieving spatial plateaus (which consist of dreamy and still life depicting soundscapes a la Pan Am, flourishing orchestrations and solemn church songs) and incisive rhythmic frequencies (based mostly on aggressive jungle rhythm sequences). Moreover, these elements are tightly interspersed with concrete sounds (the insects chirr and the frogs croak here and there). In a nutshell, I am very glad that Deadboy is back with a decent album.
