BIRDS OF PREY – ‘Sulfur and Semen’
With a lineup that includes members of Alabama Thunderpussy, Baroness, Beaten Back to Pure and Municipal Waste, BIRDS OF PREY is a vital part of the Southern metal explosion. Sophomore release Sulfur And Semen transcends geographical boundaries by also transcending musical boundaries – it’s too fast for sludge, too grimy for death, too precise for punk and way heavier than the current crop of retro-rock revivalists. One thing’s for certain: BIRDS OF PREY is one super group that lives up to the billing.

I have dumped a bunch of money into CDs this past year, probably more than I have in a long time. I have discovered and re-discovered bands that I’ve been missing out on and was even introduced to new music by record labels that sent me CDs to review (Thanks Bob at Prosthetic and Taylor at Dwell).

Hail!Hornet are a newer band, but the members are not new to the game. Featuring members of Alabama Thunderpussy, Weedeater, Sourvien and Beaten Back To Pure. Hailing from the south, Hail!Hornet are a four piece band raining down sludge metal at its best…kind of. As if we needed another genre, they have self proclaimed their sound Grime-Metal. This about explains everything. Nothing clean cut about this recording. Everything is raw and in your face. Simple riff and simple beats. Don’t get me wrong, simple is good.
