HOLY MOSES |
 Holy
Moses are a German thrash metal band with a metalicious brunette
Doro-doppelganger named Sabina up-front who ‘sings’ like Tom
Warrior getting his lungs ripped out by a giant lizard. I did not hear
Holy Moses back in the mid-80’s, when they released their first record, so
I dunno if this curious black-lung bellowing has developed over time, or
whether she’s always sounded like this, but it’s some extreme fuckin shit,
Jack, and will ultimately be the deciding factor as to whether you can
hang with this band or not. Musically, it’s old-school thrash metal
pumped-up with that over-indulgent In Flames style mega-production;
every bell, whistle, and ghostly keyboard fill possible was thrown in.
Significantly, the only thing Holy Moses claim to not fuck with is
Sabina’s vox, which really could use some sweetening. Heresy, I know, but
baby, it’s been a long day. Anyway, the guitarwork here is sometimes
awe-inspiring, and the rhythm section is hell’s breath locomotive chugging
right through your front door, but if I wanted to hear a MILF-y metal
chick growling threats at me, I could just look for my old address book
and start randomly dialing numbers.
No, wait, this is easier. And probably more fun. ________________________________________________________ |
