FOR THE LOVE OF METAL
This is a progressive rock album with the emphasis on rock. Rikard’s musicianship and song-writing is strong. Here he’s aided by a powerful rhythm section, giving the album a pleasant organic vibe.
Fans of classic, Yes, Genesis and King Crimson will find much to enjoy here.
“‘Six Pack Witchcraft’ is a full speed ahead, red lining, sing-a-long track that will have you pounding your fist on the bar, and possibly your pint glass as well. For ‘Go F*** Yourself’ the band moves back into a more old school black metal feel with production so thick you’d almost think the band had recorded with the microphones set up on the other side of a mattress.”
Jason Wellwood reviews the latest album from MAAX, a blackened rock and roll album reminiscent of Motorhead vs Darkthrone.
