The 111th solo album by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta, At The Drive-In) has leaked, and it's terribly amazing.
Essential purchase for anyone who, much like yours truly, cannot get enough of these Mars Volta's wacky latin/jazz/prog/rock/whateva. Especially since since Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler-Zavala sings on most of the album.
Cryptomnesia (which is the first part in a trilogy recorded in 2006) is just as good as any Mars Volta album, if not better, and it proves once and for all that Zach Hill (of Hella fame) is one the best drummers in the world. He should replace the grooveless whatshisname in Mars Volta.
Cryptomnesia hits stores on May 5th. Buy it. Mars Volta has a new album out on June 23rd, buy that too.

At a time when it seems like everyone and their uncle are swinging by Candlemass' nuts and praising their new, seriously lack-luster album, it refreshing to hear the master of the doom riffs is back doing what he does best - putting lame imitators in their place like the little punks they are.
This is the first album by Heaven & Hell, consisting of course of the early 80s line-up of Black Sabbath: Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommiy, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice.
While The Devil You Know (release date April 28th) doesn't hold a candle to Heaven & Hell (1980), I can't remember the last time I heard Iommi grind out riffs this bloody and ominous, and how Dio can still belt out those majestic vocals at the ripe age of 82 I'll never understand.
I didn't want to post the whole album (that's just not how I roll, Holmes), and picking only three tracks was like pulling teeth, since this is the kind of album where you get a new favorite song every time you listen to it.
Pick up this album, kids. You need this album in your life to purge all that Lamb Of God gunk out of your system. Follow The Tears is the only proof you need of this album's ass-kickery.

I will now make an assumption that may not have any basis in reality, but I might be on to something:
Refused's experimental masterpiece The Shape Of Punk To Come (1998) played a huge part in how this album came out.
Again, I base this on absolutely nothing, but I have a good feeling about it. With that their last album, Refused threw all hardcore/punk conventions out of the window and made an album full of techno beats, fiddles, samples, electronica, jazz interludes and god knows what.
Two years later Fireside releases their fourth album, Elite. They started out as a pretty standard post hardcore band of the Quicksand school in Luleå, Sweden, not far from Umeå, Refused's hometown. Although they soon found a sound of their own, they never strayed too far from their rock/hardcore beginnings. Until this album that is, which fans and critics alike were completely unprepared for.
I remember being a little confused back when this album came out, it seemed almost as though the band had broken up, and Elite was a posthumous release. The liner notes state that album was "produced pre-collapse" and contained "collected and compiled music from Fireside", giving you the idea that this was a collection of demos, rough recordings etc scrapped together to make up a final record.
This turned out not to be true, the band released their fifth album Get Shot in 2003, and the band still exists today. A rather dull album, but we'll talk about that one some other time.
The whole atmosphere surrounding the album and the band at the time of its release gave the impression that Fireside were sick of the old ways, and looking to change things. Rick Rubin hyped the shit out of them in the mid 90s after the release of their second album Do Not Tailgate (rightfully so, it's a great album), got them to play on the Lollapalooza festival and everything.
Nothing ever came of this attempt to break the band in the States, and it seems like there was plenty of bitterness within the band over this defeat. That the thank you list in the liner notes is preceeded by "We mostly think people owe us a thank you with some exceptions" only seems to reinforce this.
Perhaps The Shape Of Punk To Come was seen as a bit of an inspiration for ways out of the rut, ways to change things up and keep them interesting for themselves, fans be damned. It sounds like they just threw any idea they had into the mix, no matter how strange, and filtered it through guitarist, main songwriter, producer, mixer, mastermind Pelle Gunnerfeldt. Who by the way produced The Hives' breakthrough album Veni Vidi Vicious the same year.
The first track Elevator Action (co-written by members of fellow Luleå band The Bear Quartet) opens in a most pretentious way with people talking in French and some arty tape noise before sullen acoustic guitars kick in.
Fernandez Must Die is basically three songs in one, starting out sounding like something from their previous album Uomini D'Onore (1997) washed in keyboards and My Bloody Valentine-style noisy reverb before chunky Soundtrack Of Our Lives-type riff show up, the last two minutes consist of electronic noise, speaking voices and samples, before it transitions smoothly into Thing On A Spring, the by far softest Fireside song up to that point. A song which also is something of a little rock opera of its own, with triumphant horns and contemplative coda at the end that sounds an awful lot like Pink Floyd's The Scarecrow.
Hals Und Beinbruch has thundering drumming from Per Nordmark (one of the best drummer around by the way), synthetic strings, vocals sung through a vocoder, frantic drum machines, and the seven minute song finally ends with a few minutes of distorted guitar torture that Sonic Youth would be proud of.
The title track is a gigantic 12 minutes instrumental postrock epic, The Last V8 comes very close to the dream pop scene of the late 80s, and the stunning 9 minute closer Take A Down starts off sounding like something off of singer Kristofer Åström's mellow solo albums, then builds into white noise and a chaos of cymbals before taking a left turn with soft drumming, mandolins and accordions, and finally wrapping everything up with the tranquil sounds of rain and thunder.
Phew!
This is an album that definitely needs time, it didn't click with me until about the 10th time I heard it, and by now I rate it even higher than The Shape Of Punk To Come. And seeing how Get Shot was a more toned down and back to the roots affair, one gets the impression the band got most of their need for experimental crazyness out of their system with this album.
It sure sounds like it anyway.
