Fetal Zombie: Fetal zombie

15/02/12  ||  gk

Listening to Fetal Zombie’s debut album was exactly the same as slowing down at a car crash site and being unable to look away. I realized 3 songs in that this was one ungodly mess but I couldn’t stop. I was also equal parts fascinated and curious to see where this album would go and how bad it would get. It starts with a catchy pop song with a pleasant female vocalist and then the second song is some sort of space rock meets doom with the same woman now sounding quite uncomfortable. After that, the music goes into a sort of Dog Fashion Disco wannabe sound with a really weak guitar tone and a pathetic drum machine. If that wasn’t bad enough, the woman with the decent voice is replaced by a whiny weak voiced man who seems to think he’s in a power metal band. The songs go through alt rock ballads, rock n roll, some death metal and even a Richard Clayderman like piano driven song. This is some awful stuff but its entertaining in its own strange and horrible way. Like the aural equivalent of Howling III.

2/10: For the pop song at the start.

After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
