Bomb the Sun – Bomb the Sun
(Kozmik Artifactz)
From Aural Innovations #38 (Jan 2008)
If the term epic should be used to describe any music, this is the music! Out
of Swansea comes these four guys and if you want to come along they can take
you for a journey to pleasureland. Bomb the Sun makes heavy trippy music for
dreams or just for listening to with your eyes closed. This is nice complex
soundscapes going on for ever and ever but always varied with breaks and rhythm
changes. A song like “Your Blood is on My Hands” last more than
12 min and has more than 3 min of build-up with floating ebow before the song
explodes into heavy trance-metal driven by bass and drums with the guitars floating
on top and great hypnotic vocals. “Deh Na” is a more than seven
min piece of proggy spacegroove with funky bass and great guitar work. This
is a debut EP and the band is unsigned! That is crazy because these dudes play
so fucking well they completely wipes out almost any competition when it comes
to skills. Although it’s a completely different style of music this band
reminds me of Colour Haze with the never ending ability to build upon the same
riff and just progress forever. And like Colour Haze has Mani on drums Bomb
the Sun has Dave who can also do magic with the sticks. I’m overwhelmed,
I’m flat on my back, this is a masterpiece – mark my words as Jens
would say …
