Cavalera Conspiracy—Must Kill
I have to say that I really like this song, not for the lyrics which are a bit…well, kill-y, but for the music which just grooves.
To be honest, the whole album Inflikted is amazing. This is how Encyclopaedia Metallum reviewed it
Consistently good is probably the best way to sum up “Inflikted”, which establishes Cavalera Conspiracy as a potentially serious player in the modern Metal scene.
Whether they’re pounding out thudding Groove work with a tasteful and measured amount of tribal percussive additives in “Terrorize” and “Dark Ark”, or galloping and riffing into a modern variant on textbook Thrash in “Hearts Of Darkness”, things flow smoothly.
This isn’t quite something that will wow everybody, being more like a good album with a few great elements rather than all out amazing, but it could win over a few older fans of death and thrash, along with roping in all of the newer generation who are more accustomed to an overtly polished production.
In other words, not quite an essential purchase, but definitely something worth looking into if one is inclined towards fast and heavy music with fancy guitar work and raunchy shouts.
I have to disagree with the final paragraph though: this is most definitely an essential purchase.
30 day song challenge day 29: A song from your childhood
Sailor—Girls Girls Girls
We used to have this British Relay Wireless (BRW) television that had, if I remember correctly, four channels (BBC 1, BBC 2, STV and Border TV) but if you then pressed a button it would switch from TV to Radio and offered four channels there too (I can’t remember which ones, although BBC Radio 2 was probably one of them.
British Relay was a cable TV company, so the TV was plugged into the wall using a very particular socket with loads of pins. I remember being both excited and disappointed when we had to move to a conventional TV aerial because the signal wasn’t as good as cable and we dropped one of the ITV channels (STV, which meant no more Glen Michael’s Cartoon Cavalcade on a Sunday afternoon).
Sailor’s “Girls Girls Girls” is the first song I remember playing on the radio. It came out in early 1976.
Is it just me or does the song in places sound like The Muppet Show theme tune?
