AMARCORD FOR ANEK

on a request you get AMBUSH's AMARCORD 10" from 1995. well how do I describe this? AMBUSH are an intense mix of heavy sounds. Imagine combing 2 parts BLACK SABBATH, 2 parts NEUROSIS, 1 part ACME (they manage to create the same feeling of despair) and 1 part (late) BLACK FLAG and a spoon of SPAZZ once in a while. as you would expect, this is gloomy, powerful, sludgy intense stuff. mostly on the slow side of things, it just rumbles along, but occasionally speeds up which is the point where ACME and SPAZZ come into play. there are lots of changes from really quiet passages to really intense, angry, agonizing passages with feedback, etc., heavy riffs all over their songs. sometimes they even include a cello, a didgeridoo (however that's spelled),... [I know they did even though I don't hear it] on their debut 2 x 12" female vocals appeared in several parts which I couldn't hear on the 10". some ambient, spacy overtones add to that gloomy feeling of this band! I expect Aesop of COSMIC HEARSE to like this band!
