Generous Maria |
 Swede
superrockers Generous Maria, let us not mince words, are the
BEST drug metal band on this puny fuckin’ planet. And I’m including
Monster Magnet in that narcotic gang pile, too. Why? Brother, lead
howler Goran has GOT IT, the chest thumping, ego-star vox
that slur everything just right, and his band are virgin-killing surgeons
of sleaze, capable of dropping napalm love bombs fulla fuzz and fury dead
center into the core of yr reptile brain. And unlike their contemporaries,
who always slip up somewhere- whether it’s just from beating on the
same Sabbath riff one too many times, or taking ill-advised
side-steps into jazz (or prog, or somethin’ gruesome like that), or just
running out of devil juice and taking the long slow slide to Suckville –
Generous Maria just go to from strength to towering strength,
mining ancient 70’s thunderboogie bands for long lost dope hooks and
supersizing them for maximum cock rock action. There’s just no way around
it, really. Once the Maria cranks up, you are GOING SOMEWHERE,
and you are gonna come home ravaged and savaged, baby. This here 7 inches
of hard, shiny plastic contains two such riprides. A side “Crawl Back
In” is a space-scraping, psychedelic monster that strangles a snaky
metal-guru groove into submission. It’s excessive and sexed-up and sounds
kinda like Soundgarden melting into a pool of Warrior Soul
on a hot summer day. “Daddy Rattlesnake”, on the other hand, is
just a headbanging, cock-out motherfucker of a rock n’ roll song,
full of grit and grime and shake appeal. Best of all, it’s about YOU,
man. This single is limited to 500, so don’t be a chump, get it ‘fore it’s gone. Click here to buy “Crawl Back In” from Sleazegrinder for $4.00! ______________________________________________________ |
