UNDESTROYED

It seems like an eternity since Sleepytime Gorilla Museum folded and there has been an aching hole in the music scene begging for an angry experimental avant-metal band. Finally emerging from the ashes comes Free Salamander Exhibit, featuring 4 members of SGM and really only missing Carla's violin & vocals, there is now worthy successor to the SGM legacy. To be clear, this is not SGM, but this is a fully formed band releasing a monster of an album that would happily stack up with the best experimental avant metal bands out there. It's great to see Nils & the guys back playing this kind of music. I was a bit worried that it wouldn't meet expectations but this is a stone cold classic.
