Fantazmaz: Fantazmaz
(Ghetto Bitch Information)
LP | CD | DL
Out Now
The brand new album from Fantazmaz is a excessive vitality punk rock providing with a steel edge and highly effective manufacturing.
Fantazmaz are, as I perceive it, now London based mostly however embrace members from Brazil alongside Jamie Oliver who reduce his enamel touring the world behind the equipment with the UK Subs.
They’re clearly in a position to play their devices and the intense manufacturing works very well with their songs. They’ve some good pounding beats some nice guitar breaks and an total sound that mixes components of traditional hardcore, punk and a contact of steel in a few locations. Company Behave deviates somewhat with a riff stuffed with rockabilly put by a Stooges filter however for essentially the most half this can be a excessive vitality explosion. Fantazmaz may simply be one other run of the mill punk band vying for consideration with comparable friends have been it not for the vocals. Singer Thami has the flexibility to situation an abrasive assault one minute, however sing melody at different instances which has me in thoughts of varied singers going again to the early days of punk however the potential to carry a observe provides off a extra swaggering rocky really feel.
I can see Fantazmaz having broad enchantment past punk and into followers of nu steel and even goth…on that time, the closing monitor is so miserable sounding it may have been a 9 Inch Nails quantity. 11 tracks in underneath 18 minutes is meant to hit you between the eyes and go away you reeling, which for essentially the most half it does. I can’t assist considering they may have put extra effort into the title and canopy artwork.
