This excellent space rock band has been added to the archives.
COMETS ON FIRE* — Blue Cathedral
Review by The Wizard (Michael Crown) — First review of this album — Comets on Fire, one of today's most exciting bands, have successfully blown my mind into pieces with their epic masterpiece Blue Cathedral. Playing sludgy psychedelia at high velocities and creating volleys of sonic textures amongst powerful riffs in loose but never lost jams, the flaming comets have proven themselves a cosmic force to be reckoned with. They never fail to rear their influences, while still maintaining vibrant originality. The feedback noise attacks of Sonic Youth, the electric blues of Led Zeppelin and Hendrix, the sludgy proto-metal riffing of the MC5 and Blue Cheer, the spaced out interstellar vibes of Hawkwind and early Floyd, and the volleys of ear shattering sludge which liken to Black Sabbath, The Melvins, and Dead Meadow all combine to give Comets on Fire the unique sound they craft in Blue Cathedral. I highly reccomend them to open minded hard rock/psyche fans. They're like a modern Hawkwind but much more.

^ Avatar sounds more "normal" than Blue Cathedral. I personally enjoy Blue Cathedral more since its more chaotic, energetic and vivid.
Definitely recommended for fans of the genre specially bands like Acid Mothers Temple, but more a bit more controlled than them. |

I had 'em down as stoner rock but I like all their albums. I'm no fan of 6OoA though, that sort of drony neo-folk is pointlessly hit and miss
edit: looking at Avestin's additions today, that's three bands that I had considered stoner rock or stoner doom (35007 and Mammatus.) Edited by laplace - February 06 2007 at 22:39 |
