Album Info

Three men with a message: a message that builds. Tribal drumming opens. Subtly piping keyboard grows into a space storm. Bass emerges, a fussin' and a botherin'. Then spooky guitar rears, grunts and reverbs. Suddenly, the trio break into a classic rock'n'roll intro. They follow on with five wild musical experiments. Grinding guitar, whistling and squealing feedback, mad fx pedalling, a Black Sabbath of diabolic revs and slashes. The bass man's tunes jerk and spider, strings bending, mad slides, frenetic speed and groovy slapping. This chap plays keyboard with his feet - not foot pedals, yer actual keys. Beats are stilted, but graspable, tempos frayed, but nothing broken. Hawkwind, Black Sabbath and Spiritualized thrown together and forced through the grinder.

Heat From a DeadStar made my week. This is music of blackhole darkness and raging intensity. But it's constructed from a pattern of short repeats that's bizarrely catchy. A breakneck progression from the intro, through a sequence of end-to-end tunes, ultimately arriving at a finale that plunges around a groove, a hooky helter-skelter crunchathon, and a white noise conclusion.

John Lydon observed that "Anger is an energy". Heat From a DeadStar have travelled from France, where the energy has been emerging as rioting, to prove that their energy can be harnessed in the service of timeless musical beauty.

Energy not just from celestial bodies, but the perpetual power of Mr Jimi Hendrix.
