No matter how much your musical tastes lean towards the
experimental and the weird, there comes a time when all you want to listen to
is something familiar. I'm referring to
music that fits you like a tailored suit.
This is music that poses no mystery.
It simply sounds right. Sounds Like Hell, Looks Like Heaven from
Mustasch is exactly that type of
album.
Mustasch is a hard
rock/heavy metal band from Sweden. SLH,LLH,
the band's seventh album, was released in 2012.
What does the music sound like?
I'll tell you. Much of the album
provides a glimpse at what Wiseblood-era
Corrosion of Conformity would have
been if that band had Ian Astbury of The
Cult as their singer. In case you
were wondering, they sound fantastic!
The songs kick you in the gut with powerful guitar riffs, and stick in
your head with memorable vocal hooks. SLH,LLH is not earth shattering, it's
just great!
Bottom line? This
album is comfort food for the hard rock, classic metal fan. From album opener "Speed Metal" to
the closing statement of "I Don't Hate You", SLH,LLH is a nonstop thrill ride. Get this album waveriders, get
comfortable, and get happy because you're in for one heck of an aural treat!
Side Note - Their wikipedia page reports that the band chose
their name because many of their musical heroes, folks like Tony Iommi and
Freddie Mercury, had moustaches. How
awesome is that?
