FiftyWattHead - 2008 - FogCutter

ASSKICKING!!! I'd say this is brutal and heavy!!!! None of the elements you'll first check when you hold the CD in your hands after spinning their FOGCUTTER CD will let you guess what is about to explode... well, maybe monicker gives you an idea... but in any way what you'll suffer meanwhile this amazing piece of music elapses...

The album is expected to be released by the 16th of this month and you better be smart if you don't wanna miss a copy of that!!!

WHITEOUT starts this album and let me tell you I like this song pretty much: it is a perfect warning to you... in the sense of "enter at your own risk"... blow your head.

Second tune FOGCUTTER, which titles the album is perfect to draw together any sense of the album into one song. Even I'd define some passages as epic-sludge...Soon you realise this album becomes one of your worst endless nightmares when SEADAWG continues to punish your head with another brick-punch direct to your stomach. Ouch... again!!!

And I can continue like this until the album ends... FOUR PINTS is another pretty heavy tuned cut... even it can be compared with some MELVINS angry song... a really good song which fit perfect to a soundtrack for a steamroller.

IRON CLAD is another song you'll love and enjoy... and when you finish this album, you'll realise you love the whole of it!!!

FiftyWattHead hails from Canada and they have been caught by the great uprising SIGNED BY FORCE label who has an exquisite palate for bands.

Thanks SIGNED BY FORCE for this... again!!!

Nevermind the DWARVES: here's TRIGGER EFFECT

Dissapointed to the bone... and angry. Yes: that's the feeling after the DWARVES gig.
Less than 60 minutes playing and no encore... Just note they didn't play DRUGSTORE!!!!!!

I looked like possessed... screaming... asking for more... but they didn't come out.

So it was time to calm down after showing my middle finger when entering the car... and there, there was that great TRIGGER EFFECT album waiting for me on the CD player. And it was somewhat like a magic pill.

The real thing is this album KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys are fücking crazy, I tell you!!!!

Right from the beginning this album ("Dare To Ride The Heliocraft") comes with a freak intro which makes you fear what comes later. Fuck labeling this album 'coz you won't be able: I bet you!!. Many many bands from many different scenes will go thru your head while listening this...

Even, vocally talking, you can find short passages where SLIPKNOT or MARILYN MANSON will come to your mind: distorted mic voice singing that way shoving among the sounds on tunes that will kick your balls hard.

The mix of styles is weird and FULLY recommendable to all of you. If you miss this album, you're nothing, dude.

Montreal based TRIGGER EFFECT have created one of the best albums this year on this great label SIGNED BY FORCE who is working so hard for the underground and hitting the bull's eye.

And of course, Rama / Signed By Force records: Welcome to NOIZELAND family.

from Signed by Force site:

"Signed By Force is a Montreal based label founded by Semprini Records owner Ramachandra Borcar. He figured that running one label wasn't enough so why not double the headache. Having been the drummer of 80's cult hardcore band Hazy Azure, his love for punk, heavy rock, metal and psychedelic weirdness never wore off. Thus, a new label was created to cater to his fondness of true rock n' roll in it's heaviest, rawest and dirtiest forms. With the label's first three simultaneous releases of Bionic, Starvin Hungry and Trigger Effect, SBF has already proven that it's here to deliver the goods.
The official label and triple CD launch happened on October 4th during the Pop Montreal festival with performances from the entire label roster."
