NO HAWAII - Snake My Charms [CD]
From disagreement.net :
Sweden is definitely not Hawaii, so no one can accuse this quintet of having chosen an inappropriate band name. Founded in 2003, they released their debut EP Bruce Lee In Your Brain in 2007, followed now by the first longplayer Snake My Charms, which starts with the seven and a half minute long A Lovely Breed, an epic monster full of different influences, making it hard to pinpoint them to a specific genre. Like many of their contemporary Scandinavian counterparts (Isis, Cult Of Luna,…), there is an undeniable touch of post metal at play, but No Hawaii sound much more colourful than the competition. There are hardcore elements, but most of all a progressive sensitivity which is seemingly in charge of this blistering style cocktail. Can you imagine a mix between Neurosis and The Mars Volta, with occasional post-Faith No More Mike Patton wizardry? I couldn’t before I listened to this album, but let me tell you: it works wonders!
