ATROX - Orgasm


ATROX
Orgasm
Code666 Records - 2004
7.5/10




Blend atom smashing riffs, colorful operatic female vocals and some commendable sonic experimentation and you have Atrox.

For those who like their metal a bit on the weird side, the band show here that they can deliver a very powerful performance on tracks such as ‘Methods Of Survival’ and ‘Tentacles’. Lapsing between ten ton metal riffs and dream state clean passages with ease, this is a band of extremely skilled players that have a passion for odd time signatures and bizarre noises.

Devotees of Mr. Bungle, jazz metal and plain old weird music in general will flock to this like bums chasing a dollar on a string. Definitely different and undeniably unique, Atrox can blow your backyard black metal project off the stage.

Check it out if you like to hear bands that are completely original, there is no mistaking that Atrox indeed rocks! The album cover alone is enough to send most music listeners on a long, strange trip from which they may never return.
