Fossils - Flesh Hammer - LP (2014)

Labels: Indisciplinarian
Review by: Ted Reynolds

Imagine Lightning Bolt, but remove the layer of noise that covers up any clear notes, or apparent riffs, Fossils are like that really. Very noisy, very grimey sounding, very low down and riffy, I could see it on Am-Rep perhaps?

They make the kind of sound that makes me think they would be dirty, and mischievous fellows, they would try and fill your mouth with sausages if you were sleeping or something, or put mince all over your belly (I’m assuming that their musical obsession with meat continues with them just having raw meat on them at all times. Apologies to Fossil if they are not like that, I don’t think it was meant as an insult).

Yeah, it’s good, I reckon it would be pretty amazing to watch them at full volume, as this was all recorded live, it gives a good impression of what they would be like.

It’s a horrible racket obviously, but one that’s good to listen to.
