Touting the slogan 'Organic free metal from Malaysia' I have to say I was
intrigued even before I popped this record on the deck - I mean how can
you possibly dislike a record if it lives up to that slogan, and I'm happy
to say that it really, truly does. While being more 'free' than 'metal',
this Malaysian improvisational five-piece make quite a racket and armed with
two saxophones, bass, guitar and drums they're not your traditional rock
band. In fact the band have more in common with Kraut rockers Amon Duul or
jazz-pranksters Mr. Bungle than they do with any of the northern European
black metallers the jacket might suggest, but that aside 'Weisse Messe'
truly rocks. So you might not get the kind of riffage you'd expect from a
traditional metal band, but in place of this is the kind of feedback that
would get Thurston Moore's knickers in a twist and the kind of saxophonic
skronk that would have half of the modern avant garde brigade instantly
searching for a purpose in life. So this is metal in essence rather than
sound, so don't expect an easy ride - the horns squeak like nothing you care
to have heard before and leave a devastating hole in the cranium in their
wake. You think you've heard free jazz? Maybe you need to hear how it sounds
in Kuala Lumpur, then you can honestly leave with a smile (?) on your face...
insane, and all the better for it.
