Zodiac Machine - "Demo 2007" (Sweden)
From Aural Innovations #40 (September 2008)
This is a pretty new Swedish band. This is their 4 track demo CD and it is pretty cool stuff. This is Psychedelic rock with a bluesy edge. It has a pretty thin sound production and not enough balls for this type of music but let's get started. You and I start things off with some rock and roll, including the lame lyrics. The singer has a distinctive voice and singing style. Nice guitar solo. Salvation is a slow bluesy and spacey track. Don't tread on Me continues in this slow stoney blues vain. The way he sings on this track will remind you of Witchcraft. March of the Zombie is a cool track and the band were really starting to jam and get psychedelic and then they ended the track. Damn. Anyway, a new pretty cool band.
