THE BEDLAM IN GOLIATH

I can't believe how this band twisted their sound so much, I remember a younger me buying De-Loused and going nuts about it...it was a really fresh album and I knew that particular CD was going to hit my brain for years to come...then Frances the Mute came out and I thought well...ok...I was expecting much.....then I bought Amputechture and I ended selling my copy to a friend...I thought it was totally over.

but then they release The Bedlam In Goliath...a strong album even from the name, this piece is a radical twist from their cheesy lines and spacey copy-pasted signatures to a powerful musical explosion, this album is just non-stop heavy music, crafted for the hard ears out there...

Of course there will be some individuals who won't be able to stand this kind of chaotic blasts, but that's where The Bedlam... becomes a masterpiece, is not an album that everyone will understand, many people will actually hate the fact that the music is even gloomy and dark instead of just spastic and melodious...but most people hated Carlos Santana back in the days and they said it was music for satan lovers...now he's even praised for his work.

I can see people giving this album a cult tag in a few years, once we finally learn to digest interesting and heavy music that is.
