2012
Estos chiflados suecos han hecho en su primer larga duración uno de los debuts más interesantes del pasado año a base de rituales vudú, sacrificar cabras, tambores africanos y altas dosis de psicodélia heredera de hawkwind, black sabbath, barrabas o funkadelic entre otros. Junto con Acid Folk o Afro Funk. Visten con mascaras y no se sabe muy bien ni los nombres originales ni cuantos miembros son en realidad en la banda, lo cual les hace mantener más aún su endiablado anonimato.
Centrándonos en el contenido del álbum de apenas 40 min dividios en nueve temas, nos encontramos desde la psicodélia instrumental con la inicial "Diarabi" pasando por cortes con toques más funk como "Goatman" con esas guitarras wahs wahs y esos teclados del infierno, junto con coros femeninos chamanticos que parecen sacados de unos de sus rituales comunes de día a día. "Goathead" es uno de mis cortes favoritos del álbum con una poderosa base rítmica. "Disco fever" parece sacada de una película de serie b de terror, mientras que la mística "Golden Dawn" nos devuelve a los años dorados de la música psicodélica de los años sesenta. Todos los temas destacan por su brevedad y sus cambios de ritmo, junto con los punteados de guitarra Funk y los tambores endiablados africanos, y en algún corte como "Let it bleed" se atreven incluso con unos saxofones llevados a fondo de la psicosis. Otros temas a destacar son "Run to your mama" o la fascinante y cautivadora "Goatloard". Ellos mismos declaran su música como "una vía de comunicación con sus antepasados". veremos como se manejan en directo y que nos van deparando en un futuro, por ahora solo podemos disfrutar de su música magnética y cautivadora.

These crazy Swedes have done in his first full-length one of the most exciting debuts of last year based on voodoo rituals, sacrificing goats, African drums and high doses of psychedelia heir to Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Barabbas or funkadelic among others. Along with Acid Folk or Afro Funk. They wear masks and do not really know or the original names or how many members are actually in the band, which makes them even more his devilish maintain anonymity.
Focusing on the content of the album is just 40 min further divided into nine themes, we find from the psychedelic instrumental with the initial "Diarabi" cuts through funkier touches as "Goatman" with those guitars keyboards wahs wahs and those of hell, along chamanticos with female vocals that seem drawn from a common rituals of everyday life. "Goathead" is one of my favorite cuts from the album with a powerful rhythmic base. "Disco Fever" straight out of a B-movie horror, while the mystic "Golden Dawn" takes us back to the golden years of psychedelic music of the sixties. All topics noted for its brevity and rhythm changes, along with the dotted Funk guitar and African drums devilish, and any cuts like "Let It Bleed" dare even saxophones carried a background of psychosis. Other items to note are "Run to Your Mama" or the fascinating and captivating "Goatloard". They pride themselves on their music as "a way to communicate with their ancestors." see how to handle live and we are throwing up in the future, for now we can only enjoy their magnetic and captivating music.
