After a six-year recording hiatus, Mutoid Man are back with their third full-length and most mindboggling effort yet, Mutants. Guitarist/vocalist Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Old Man Gloom) and drummer Ben Koller (Converge, Killer Be Killed) have always excelled at crafting their own unique brand of frenzied, hyper-focused, dynamic, and deliciously excessive fretboard-savvy metal. Take two players who were raised in the hardcore world and who quickly surpassed the technical requirements for playing even the more sophisticated spins on that sound, and then make them playfully push each other into more outrageous and catchy territories, and you have a rough approximation of the Mutoid Man sound. With the addition of bassist Jeff Matz (High on Fire, Zeke) in tow, you now have a trifecta of prog-level players approaching metal with punk irreverence. But Mutants never comes across as academic noodling. Rather, the whole album radiates an exuberant and adrenalized joy.Label: Sargent House – SH 281, Sargent House – SH 281-IEFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Purple [Transparent Purple]Country: UK, Europe & USReleased: Jul 28, 2023Genre: RockStyle: Math Rock, Post-Hardcore, PunkTracklistA1 Call Of The VoidA2 Frozen HeartsA3 Broken Glass CeilingA4 Siren SongA5 Graveyard LoveB1 UnbornB2 SiphonB3 DemonsB4 Memory HoleB5 Setting Sun
