his all-instrumental heavy rock CD is brought to us by the three Kopecky brothers of Wisconsin. While this may seem like a family picnic, it's actually more like an eerie circus of evil audio dementia. It's very musical with excellent melodies and amazing production, yet twisted and spooky. Perhaps this music could be likened to the warped style of Primus and the Melvins, mated with the oddity of "Discipline" era Crimson and heavy ominous vibe of Led Zeppelin. Lots of eastern tinting sitar and metallic death crunch, with occasional industrial-doom sections and hair-raising demonic ambience. Very earthy and organic. Plenty of cool runs, licks, and complexity. And the coolest part, it's all instrumental. Interestingly enough, I've found this CD to capture the attention of heavy prog fans and pop-rock fans alike, and scare them as well! I suspect that you'll be hearing more about these guys real soon. The stuff is bent yet extremely solid, and kicks ass.
