Has anybody heard Chrome Hoof's new album "Pre-Emptive False Rapture" yet? It's fucking stunning. An enormous band (there are about thirteen of them including a horn section and dancers) started by two brothers. One of these brothers is a huge fan of 70s funk. The other is the bassist in Cathedral. The combination is AWESOME.
I've seen them live exactly once, supporting Sunn0))), and it was one of the most amazing gigs I've ever seen. All dressed in shiny silver space robes, and with a giant with a ram's head prancing around the stage. They're as tight as a gnat's chuff, and they rock out and funk out with equal success. And despite being both funk and metal, they never actually end up being funk metal, either.
They remind me of Black Sabbath, Funkadelic, Hawkwind and Sun Ra all at the same time. Chrome Hoof fucking rule.
It's been a great year for music, but this is definitely one of my albums of the year. Truly fucking splendid. |
