Tenhornedbeast/Marzuraan - Untitled Split CD

 May 5 2008 at 09:12:20 AM



Lo, the yawning id of Shiva. Tenhornedbeast brings the deathfuk dread and with extreme prejudice. Granitic potency does not wane as the near half-hour “Law of the Needle” unfolds, the backbone of the piece not unlike a gonad-rattling ride in a C-130 transport, its engines nothing so much but the primordial blah soundtracking the very notion of advancement held between the dense and dumb temples of those hirsute folks that scrabbled about Wales in Quest for Fire. Epic stuff, really.

Marzuraan's Marzurann's “Into Countless Battles” is one of those slow-trudge haircut rock things that the kids are all greasy in the seat for of late. It’s close enough to the Jesu’s aural candy to smell Justin Broadrick’s Judas stench. And that’s much too close for me.

    That would be MarzurAAn, it's not spelled with two NN's. As the guitarist in the band I can assure you of two things... we are most definately nowhere near 'haircut rock' AND Jesu have absolutely no influence on our sound, that's a lazy reference point man.

    Sorry about the typo. As for the "lazy reference point," MarzurAAn is about as lazy as it gets. Keep "riffing" & gazing at those shoes, bro.

    "Guitary based it is more in the realms of bands like Jesu."

    "Marzuraan take a different approach, melding druggy Hendrix-esque guitar tone and pensive percussion into a hypnotic cross between Jesu, a dour Dead Meadow and the opiate of your "

    "Part way through, the riffs get a little more riffy, and then the vocals come in, a moaning distant croon, and we're most definitely in serious Jesu territory"

    "...like a slightly less ecstatic Jesu playing through Killing Joke's backline in a shed somewhere off the A1."

    Reviews are reviews whatever...
    but imagine a world where Jesu does not exist, what comparison would you use then? I mean were they the first band ever to play in this style?
    Half of the band have skinheads, does that mean we're ripping off Justin Broadrick also?
    I don't 'riff' or gaze at my shoes, I play guitar in a band BRO

    I wish I lived in a world where Jesu did not exist.

    In the event that such world did exist, I would compare MarzurAAN's music to "deep and utter boredom made by skinheads who think they're doing something really fucking original."

    You people never hear BITCH MAGNET? I think Mazuraan is as un-Jesu as you can get.
