Nuclear Rabbit - Mutopia

These guys music is pretty much as any Mike Patton masterpiece. Mr. Bungle/Faith No More experimental era fans will find love with this band. So on, after a little change in the line-up, we have Mutopia. Different from the past material, but same level of creativity and enjoyment. Overall, this is the less avant-garde Nuclear Rabbit album. I would call it a progressive/technical melodic hardcore album with some death metal influence. As the technical metal shines brighter, mainly with Jean's monsterpieceful 11 string bass, Nuclear Rabbit sounds more alternative too. There's an incredible increase of melodic passages, and even emotive riffs and vocals like those from "Alone With My Clone" and "Truth's Ugly Head". The ska & funk side of the band was almost totally exchanged by a hardcore/rapcore/grindcore beat, some tracks even reminds me of Biohazard and their kind of band. Double bass pedals became usual, and together with the fusion of guitar and bass riffage, sometimes seems a modern post-hardcore band. Unfortunatelly, this is the last known release of the band. The guys stated they're writing new tunes on 2008, and since then, only played together once (2011). If they are planning to put something out, better think twice. Their short all-star catalogue shouldn't be ruined in my opinion.
