Nuclear Rabbit -Fortitude

So, here's the first official album by the californian avant rocker group Nuclear Rabbit. Intestinal Fortitude speaks to you at first sight through another genial gruesome cover art. It defines the sound and lyrics pretty well. Yet a total nonsensical bad taste humor. Far heavier than before and much more focused on technical/avant-prog metal, the bass player Jean Baudin is clearly the highlight of the album. There are groovy and street tendencies, Greg Parrish crazy vocals and Jason Branyan guitars still bearing Mike Patton's ugliest works, jumping from experimental deathgrind to a smooth melodic random circumstance without losing coherence (maybe not). This album grabs me from the start, "My Girl's Got Guts", where the band presents a catchy unique melodic technical death funk vibe adding even some country and middle- eastern riffs in between sections. The drums adds to the technical metal mood, and here the band started using double bass pedals here and there (something that became more frequent with the next release). Brilliant and dope. An album to listen while frying casino's paper advertisements hidden from your sons and daughters.
