Yes. The label speaks the truth. This is obviously pure rock. This is clearly the real deal. And this is almost an understatement, isn't it? Well, don't get me wrong, I would never ever let it happen that a sister of mine meet these men. I quote: "We gonna love her, f*** her, share her with our brother..." Good grief... But fortunately I don't have any sisters, so what?
Wow, this voice is temporarily really somewhat disgusting. Listen to it and tell me whether you are sure that these vocals are entirely human. I never heard anything like this before, although I spent countless hours listening to Iron Maiden, Wolfsbane, Roger Chapman and AC/DC. Okay, perhaps I am exaggerating. Maybe I should mention this very night at full moon, when I heard a nasty noise out of the disguise of the dark, and threw a stone after it, before I hurried home. I hate this wicked voice and right from the start I realized that I love to hate it. I am captured by the fascination of the sound which is as least as dirty as a pimp's muscle car with 300 hp and a perforated exhausts system.
The opener Pure Platinum hits me right between the eyes. It reminded me of boxing without gloves. I only stopped to hear it on and on and on because we were for two days without electricity at our town when the current winter delivered overwhelming masses of snow.
This is absolutely my favorite song on DOOMFOXX’s debut album but I like the other songs, especially Piece Of Me and Sweatheart Of The Troops as well. Stuart McKie owns a hell of a voice and he knows how to use it. It sounds quite scaring and enormous unshaved and pretty dirty even during the slower titles.
This is a bitch of an album. It wants to impress at all costs and it does. There is no hesitating or belittlement. You can talk bad about it but you can't ignore it and even if you don't wanna be attracted, it gets you.
Listen to it and you get more than persuaded you get convinced. Yeah, this is a clear recommendation and moreover you owe me a beer for that. Buy me one when we meet at their next live performance. I reckon I can swim in beer then. Skoal!
