Time To Burn - 2007 - Is.Land

Excelent work by this band from Paris. Or may I say AWESOME.

It is not easy to label this album but let's store this band at the beginning as sludge metal (45%) and post-rock(55%). But it would be rough for a pure post-rocker listener... maybe post-hardcore or post-metal could be also used, but I don't believe it is accurate enough, IMO.

I would like to meet these guys before here in Madrid because I saw they were playing around here not a long ago. And if they sound live a half cool as on the album, a live set by TIME TO BURN gotta be crushing!!!!

They explore heavy recourring riffs which carries you down to their hell as if you were comfortably seated on a giant snake who steadfastly arrives to the true throne of evil. Their soft (?) interludes soon cut up to bring harder riffs like a rollercoaster of sludgie fun. Anger suppurates on every note without flaunting: Just seing really cool front cover (very calm and peaceful sensation) and artwork of the album (clean colors... in the same way as Cult Of Luna's "Salvation" cover art) which don't show off the power truck who is about to start when you slip their CD into the player.

There are some kind of play in this album. Its title is "Is.Land"; first song's title "Is", fifth song out of ten's title is "." and last song is titled "Land". Hadn't received any reference about this and well... maybe I'm becoming mad and wanna see ghosts everywhere!!

Some similarities can be done on the fly with the band BATTLEFIELDS... and I said "some"...

I love this album, guys. Come to Madrid soon... Maybe soon we can talk for a show around here, together with your neighbours TORMENTA...

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.

DWARVES live in Madrid

THE DWARVES are visiting Madrid tomorrow at Gruta 77
