This has to be one of the oddest, yet boldly intriguing releases I have stumbled across this year. I’m not quite sure how to review this or approach it from a metal scribe’s point of view, but let me just say if you like MR. BUNGLE, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED, grind, jazz, techno, ambient, house, keyboard pop, etc., etc., ad nauseum, then you should give Cloak Of Love a listen. This brilliant 13 minute, 5 song EP is just what the doctor ordered to completely annoy that neighbor that won’t stop banging the street corner whore next door; the headboard slamming against the wall, complete with the bitch wailing like a stuck pig. Or perhaps your neighbor likes to mow the yard and weed eat at 7:15 in the morning? Then, I say you wake up at 4:30 in the morning or just stay up that late, and put your speakers out the window and turn it up as loud as it will go. Mom and Dad won’t leave you alone, nagging wife driving you crazy? Then put on headphones and completely mindfuck yourself, you’ll be healthier for it at cd’s end.

For 13 minutes, your community, friends and family won’t know what hit them.

This is a pretty cool release. Intriguing as hell, although I haven't really heard it enough to settle on a firm opinion. Definitely worth checking out.

 

[Chromatose]

Its actually that good? ha! when I first saw it mentioned somewhere, I was expecting a horribly retarded joke of an album.

I'm not certain if I'll like this or consider it another 'Pentagrams All up in My Bling Bling', but I'll download a bit, just for the experience.

 

[Demonspell]

I've heard two tracks from it, a definite WTF for me as techno and grind cohere together like salad dressing on popcorn...

 

[Papa Josh]

It's 13 minutes long for crying out loud!!!

Anyhow, I just think it's cool that these Napoleon Dynamite looking fools sent in this "absurd demo" as their label puts it, and the rest is history!!

 

[JayKeeley]

I like the cover art.

 

[Papa Josh]

I like the cover art.

Did you listen to this before you sent it to me?

 

[JayKeeley]

No, if it's on Crucial Blast, it goes right out the door.

 

[NAD]

I think I need this album, short form usually fits really well with weird shit.

 

[NAD]

HAHAHAHAHA this fucking RULES!

 

[NAD]

After a few listens of Arms, this isn't even really strange. It's different, but it works amazingly well. I'm impressed, sold.

 

[circus_brimstone]

I liked this a lot as well. I reviewed it for UM, if anyone cares to look it up.

 

[Papa Josh]

No, if it's on Crucial Blast, it goes right out the door.

Dare I say close minded?

 

[Krilons Resa]

No, if it's on Crucial Blast, it goes right out the door.

That's funny, but I tend to completely agree.:Spin:

I don't pay much attention to labels anymore, let me look at their roster, I probably own half of it.

Huh, I don't have any of those. Been meaning to check out Infidel? / Castro! for awhile.

Have you checked out that crazy Crucial Blast cd I sent you? I think it was City of Dis or something like that....

 

[NAD]

No, but I need to. This week I'm going to get a lot of those done, since you and JayK are forcing me to use this outdated review method.

Seriously check that one out, the saxophone is interesting.

OIM--That's City of Dis by The Mass. Very cool album, I reviewed it for MR

 

[NAD]

As metal fans, we call the roads less traveled home.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout, yo!

Sounds like a cool album, I'll have to give it a spin and a write-up this week.
