Album Review

Blakefish – Champions

• 14th Aug 2009

Taking a more experimental brand of punk metal and brandishing it with two variations of metal vocals to help it along the way.

The good news is that the band are more than competent to hold up their own in the screaming staggered metal they provide. The bad news is that it may well be too much of a good thing. Unless the music takes sudden turns here and there, this kind of music can very quickly become tiresome and overlong. An album can also be seen to become very repetitive.

But for all their intentions, it is still great work from the band. The music is at times a spiralling album of madness. Not exactly music to relax to, more music to go mental to.
