Colossus - The Mechanical Engineering Of Living Machines [2010]
Genre: Progressive Metal
Label: Unsigned
URL: http://www.myspace.com/colossusstockholm
Country: Stockholm, Sweden
Note: By band request
First of all, I would like to apologize in advance if this review is bad since this is normally not in any way what I listen to. Therefore my judgment might be clouded.
That being said, I'm going directly to the point. This is, in my ears, not good. I'm having a hard time explaining what kind of music this actually is, but it's close to impossible. It's got doom influences with a dark aura surrounding it, with a tad of Guitar Hero included. What I mean by that is that it sounds very very very much like a Guitar Hero band.
The band discribes themselves as a mix of post-hardcore, old school doom, thrash and stoner metal to create their own sound. From my own experience, they do have their own sound. However, I'm not very familiar with the genre so I feel like I'm in no position to say that they don't sound like others, but I've never heard anything like it before.
The band members all seem to be in their best years (heh), so I'm guessing you'll have to be there aswell to really appreciate what they create. I, on the other hand, am not, and for that I'm sorry. But hey, if you like doom/thrash/stoner metal, give it a shot. You might like it!
Best song: Last Man Standing
Score: 3/10
