Entry 029 - Heirophant - Great Mother: Holy Monster

 

 

Subtlety is not something this record does well, in fact I would say that this is near the antithesis of it. Heirophant upper cut you right off the bat and never stop pummeling you until the 25 minute record is complete.

This is a combination of death metal, hardcore, and d-beat - all genres which are known for their aggression. The album simply does not stop - every song is intended to be played on maximum volume and absolutely obliterate everything in its path.

Despite its aggressive leanings, not every song on here is played at a blistering pace. What Son of the Four Hands Way lacks in speed, it more than makes up for in feedback laden riffs - even at a slower pace it is still an assault on the ears.

Great Mother: Holy Monster is not the type of album that I listen to very frequently. However when I want something short and kicks all sorts of ass then this is on the short list of albums to spin.
